## Summary

The University of Salford has awarded a contract for rigging alterations in the New Adelphi Theatre, within the category of hoists and building construction work. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure and has now reached the award stage, with the tender initially published on 29 January 2025 and the award made on 21 February 2025. The project, valued at £23,259.90, will involve the reconfiguration of electric pilewind winches and hemp sets, along with necessary load testing, signage, certification, and updates to the hoist control system. The work is set to commence on 28 February 2025 and be completed by 1 June 2025. The buyer, University of Salford, is located at The Old Fire Station, Salford, M5 4WT, England.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in rigging, theatre construction, and hoist systems. With a focus on reconfiguring theatre rigging and control systems, companies with experience in these areas are well-positioned to deliver on the requirements. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to take advantage of this contract, given the scope and scale of the project. Additionally, businesses offering comprehensive services including load testing and certification could see significant growth by engaging with a prominent institution like the University of Salford.

## Notice

We require alterations to the grid in the New Adelphi Theatre, which will entail the reconfiguring of electric pilewind winches and hemp sets in order to achieve a more useful distribution of available bars. Hemp sets will need to be decommissioned and the pulley block layout re-configured in order to divert an existing electric pilewind winch further upstage, with hemp sets then being reinstalled further downstage. All load testing, SWL signage and certification should be included. This project should also include an update to the hoist control system to allow for two control positions (fly floor and stage).
