UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council commissioned the design, manufacture and installation of replacement lighting at Durham Gala Theatre. The work is classified as construction, with lighting replacement as its specific purpose. The delivery location is Durham Gala Theatre, in Durham.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Durham County Council awarded the contract to ZG Lighting (UK) Limited through a direct award below the competitive threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 26 October 2026 and runs from 11 January to 15 February 2027. Its value is £76,831 excluding VAT, or £92,197.20 including VAT. The award is for one lot. No evaluation criteria are stated.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Durham County Council, this award demonstrates demand for a single, end-to-end lighting replacement project at a public theatre. A credible competitor would need to deliver the design, manufacture and installation of replacement lighting, and to manage those stages as one coordinated works package. Experience delivering lighting projects in theatre or comparable performance venues would be relevant to understanding the setting and practical requirements. The council used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold procurement, so this outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation model or specific qualification requirements for future work.
