## Summary

Torbay Council is seeking suppliers for the "Retender of Supply of PA and Recording Equipment" to facilitate its Council meetings at the Riviera International Conference Centre in Torquay, located in the South West of England. The procurement process, classified under the CPV Code for radio, television, communication, and telecommunications equipment, is currently in the Award stage. The initial tender period ended on 3rd March 2017, with the contract expected to commence from 12th April 2017 and run until 10th April 2020. This open procedure has a budget of £57,000 for the first lot, which pertains to the supply of equipment for Council meetings only, while the second lot for Development Management Committee meetings has been cancelled due to previous pricing exceeding the budget threshold.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in audio-visual equipment supply, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Suppliers capable of providing PA and recording equipment for formal meetings may find a suitable match here, particularly those who can operate under budget constraints and adapt to potential changes in venues. The existing requirement for ongoing maintenance and potential additional needs during the contract period further enhances the scope for business engagement and growth within this segment.

## 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.
