## Summary

The Dartford Borough Council has awarded a contract for the Orchard Theatre Temporary Structure project to GL EVENTS UK LIMITED. This contracting process, initiated as a tender, aimed to address a structural issue at The Orchard Theatre by seeking a temporary structure solution. The contract value is £1,200,000, with a competitive dialogue procurement method used. The contract period spans from October 13, 2023, to October 31, 2024, providing opportunities in the goods category for interested businesses in the South East, United Kingdom region.

This awarded contract presents potential business growth opportunities for companies interested in providing miscellaneous structures. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly stand to benefit from engaging in competitive dialogue processes above threshold. Businesses with capabilities in temporary structure solutions and a focus on serving the creative industry could find this tender well-suited for their expertise. The project location in the South East region offers a specific regional business opportunity for interested suppliers to contribute to the temporary relocation of the theatre programme.

## Notice

As a result of a structural problem within the roof structure, Dartford Borough Council (DBC) has had to close The Orchard Theatre, Dartford, with immediate effect. In order to mitigate the effects of closure on Dartford residents and businesses, TT and the wider creative industry, DBC and TT are working together to identify whether there is a temporary structure solution which most of the programme from the theatre could relocate to for the duration of the works.
