Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds has concluded the award stage of a public procurement process regarding the "Arena Seating Upgrade." This contract involves the replacement of seating in the Armouries' Tiltyard and options for additional seating upgrades. The procurement falls under the "works" category with specific classifications such as theatre seats and building construction work. The procurement method used is below the threshold, and the contract runs from 20th December 2025 to 28th February 2026, valued at £35,610.06 inclusive of VAT. This procurement process aligns with UK legal requirements, notably UKPGA 2023/54.

Opportunities for business growth are apparent for enterprises involved in construction and seating solutions, particularly those capable of meeting specified seating requirements. The successful supplier, Arena Stadia Seating based in Barnsley, exemplifies the type of small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) that can thrive in public procurement settings, providing specialised solutions. Contractors with experience in building construction and theatre seating installation stand to benefit from similar projects, including potential expansions within this contract and future similar tenders. Companies with the capability to deliver additional seating components under fixed-price agreements may also find lucrative prospects in this sector.
