## Summary

Chelmsford City Council procured a software system for theatre bookings and ticketing. The requirement covers the technology used to manage theatre reservations and ticket sales, classified as software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). The system is intended for delivery in Chelmsford, England, at the council’s theatre operations. This is a goods procurement focused on supplying and supporting a specialist digital platform rather than construction, general consultancy or event production. The buyer is Chelmsford City Council, based at the Civic Centre in Chelmsford. The requirement also includes an optional 12-month extension opportunity, indicating a continuing system need beyond the initial service period.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, rather than as an open standalone competition. The contract was awarded to SPEKTRIX LIMITED on 3 August 2026 for £250,000. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2029, with an optional 12-month extension described in the requirement. The tender submission deadline was 4 August 2026 at 12:00. The recorded award is active and relates to the full theatre booking and ticketing system requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Chelmsford City Council’s demand for a specialist theatre booking and ticketing platform procured through the G-Cloud framework. Businesses competing when a similar requirement returns would need an established software product able to handle theatre reservations and ticket sales, together with the organisational capacity to deliver a council-wide implementation and ongoing service. Framework participation is commercially important because this requirement was placed as a G-Cloud 14 call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work should understand that route and its requirements. The buyer’s SME suitability designation also indicates that smaller specialist technology firms can be credible competitors, alongside larger established suppliers.
