Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Isles of Scilly is inviting tenders for the fit-out of a new theatre at the Isles of Scilly Cultural Centre, with a focus on the supply, design, and installation of theatre cabling, sound, lighting, and AV equipment, as well as chairs and staging. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, under an open procedure, with the submission deadline set for 23rd June 2025 at 16:00 BST. Key activities under this project are construction work for buildings relating to artistic performances, theatre construction, and the provision of audio-visual equipment and seating, specifically aimed at serving the remote island community in the UKK30 region. The total contract value is estimated at £900,000 GBP, and the contract period is anticipated to run from 21st July 2025 to 30th June 2026.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity for companies specialising in theatre construction, audio-visual integration, and creative spaces design, especially those with experience handling the logistical challenges of working in remote locations. It's particularly suited to SMEs focused on cultural and artistic projects, who can meet the award criteria focused on cost, quality, and social value. With a comprehensive scope that includes both goods and construction works, firms that can offer an integrated approach to both installation and supply are likely to find this opportunity appealing.
