Summary of the contracting process

Newark and Sherwood District Council commissioned electrical installation work to replace the existing stair nosings in the auditorium of the Palace Theatre with LED-lit nosings. The purpose is to improve safety and reduce the risk of trips and falls on the auditorium stairs. The work is at the Palace Theatre in Newark, Nottinghamshire. The procurement covers one lot for the theatre stair-nosing replacement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Johnson Electrical Solutions Ltd, a Newark-based supplier. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and runs from 11 September to 10 December 2026. Its value is £41,000 excluding VAT (£49,200 including VAT). The award is active, and the contract is active. The procurement records electrical installation work as the category; no further evaluation basis is set out.

This award shows demand from Newark and Sherwood District Council for specialist electrical installation work on public venue stairs, specifically replacing existing nosings with illuminated units to improve safety. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement should be able to deliver a focused installation in an auditorium while managing work around a theatre environment. Relevant experience would include fitting LED stair nosings and carrying out safety-related upgrades to public buildings. The selected supplier is a Newark-based SME, indicating that a smaller local electrical contractor was able to undertake this single-site works contract. Credible competitors would need suitable installation capability, the capacity to complete a contained project within the contract period, and evidence of delivering comparable work safely.
