This tender falls under the Audio-Visual Equipment industry category and is located in the East of England. The objective is to engage a contractor to specify, provide, and install AV systems throughout the historic Grade II listed Lowestoft Town Hall, covering various rooms and spaces such as the Council Chamber and an events hall. The tender period closes on 1 April 2025, with the contract set to commence on 7 April 2025 and conclude by the end of August 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure below the threshold, and the project aims for cost-effectiveness and high-quality performance. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in AV equipment supply and installation, with particular benefits for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies experienced in working on heritage sites and capable of coordinating with multiple stakeholders, including M&E subcontractors and architectural teams, will find this project aligns well with their expertise. The requirement for user-friendly, versatile AV systems capable of supporting videoconferencing, presentations, music, and broadcasting makes it ideal for firms with a proven track record in delivering comprehensive AV solutions. Moreover, the potential inclusion of ongoing support and maintenance services provides an avenue for long-term engagement and business growth. ## Notice Lowestoft Town Council is looking to engage a suitably experienced Contractor to specify, provide and install audio-visual systems throughout Lowestoft Town Hall, including in the historic Council Chamber, several meeting rooms and an events hall. The Grade II Lowestoft Town Hall is currently undergoing a major restoration project, and the appointed contractor will be required to liaise with the M&E subcontractors re setting out of cabling, and with the architectural team in terms of selection of equipment suitable for each location, including heritage settings, as well as specifying and supplying the necessary equipment for each location. All equipment must be easily operable by non-technical users, and variously will need to support videoconferencing, presentations, playing of music and broadcasting of meetings and ceremonies. Installation is likely to take place summer 2026, once the capital works are completed. Whilst high-quality performance is essential, at the same time, as a publicly funded project, cost-effectiveness and value for money will be key. An ongoing support and maintenance service may also form part of the service.
