The procurement is currently at the award stage following the completion of the previous tender process, which was unsuccessful due to submitted bids exceeding the approved budget. This open procurement process, with a total value of £57,000, has key deadlines including the tender period which ended on 3rd March 2017. The contract is set to commence on 12th April 2017 and will last until 10th April 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the telecommunications and audio-visual sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in PA and recording equipment, particularly those with experience in public sector contracts, are encouraged to participate. Given the retendering nature, organisations that can offer competitive pricing within the specified budget and demonstrate consistent quality in service delivery are likely to excel in this bidding process. Additional potential requirements for supplying similar equipment for other council functions may also arise during the contract period, enhancing growth prospects for successful bidders. ## Notice Torbay Council requires the supply of PA and recording equipment for its Council meetings and Development Management Committee meetings which are currently held at the Riviera International Conference Centre, Chestnut Avenue, Torquay, TQ2 5LZ. The meetings may be held in alternative venues if required and equipment would be expected to be provided for these meetings. The Contract will be awarded as two Lots: Lot One: supply of PA and recording equipment to Council meetings; Lot Two: supply of PA and recording equipment to Development Management Committee meetings. There may or may not be an additional requirement during the Contract period, for supply of PA and/or recording equipment for any other Torbay Council functions (if required). This Retender opportunity follows on from the recent Request for Tender process which resulted in the Contract not being awarded, due to all submitted pricing exceeding the maximum spend threshold allowed for the Request for Tender process (over the maximum four year Contract period). Additionally all submitted pricing exceeded the Authority's approximate annual budget for this service. Full details of the requirements and revised details of the Authority's available maximum annual budget are contained in the Tender documents. Additional information: The tender documents are available in the 'Opportunities' area of www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk in read only format. Any organisation wishing to access the amendable versions of the tender documents and submit a bid, must first express their interest against this opportunity, to be able to do so. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e0cc393-65ee-4278-90e3-93d9c34a069c | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Apr 2017 | | Submission deadline | 3 Mar 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Mar 2017 | | Contract period | 11 Apr 2017 - 10 Apr 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £57,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £31,983 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TORBAY COUNCIL | | Locality | TORQUAY | | Post town | Torquay | | Postcode | TQ1 3DR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK42 Torbay | | Local authority | Torbay | | Electoral ward | Tormohun | | Westminster constituency | Torbay | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ESW SOLUTIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment ### Codes - 32000000 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment ## Release History - 3 Apr 2017 at 13:31 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e0cc393-65ee-4278-90e3-93d9c34a069c - 7 Feb 2017 at 16:27 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/46147a28-54a5-45c4-a21e-fb211114f4c2 - 7 Feb 2017 at 16:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/46147a28-54a5-45c4-a21e-fb211114f4c2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e0cc393-65ee-4278-90e3-93d9c34a069c 3rd April 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/46147a28-54a5-45c4-a21e-fb211114f4c2 7th February 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=0b6e33a5-49ed-e611-80dc-005056b64545 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
