## Summary

The Borough Council of Wellingborough has initiated a tender for the replacement of auditorium seating at the Castle Theatre, located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This procurement process, classified under the goods category, is currently at the active tender stage, with the tender period closing on 4th June 2019. The contract is estimated to range from £80,000 to £110,000, and the expected installation of the new seating is scheduled between 19th August and 1st September 2019. Welland Procurement is the buying organisation overseeing this tender, and the main purpose is to enhance the customer experience at the theatre by providing comfortable and aesthetically pleasing seating.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in manufacturing or supplying theatre seating, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Companies with expertise in furniture design and installation are highly suited to compete, given the specific requirements for both comfort and capacity enhancement. Engaging in this project could lead to further opportunities within the entertainment and public sector, especially with a reputable contracting authority like the Borough Council of Wellingborough and its emphasis on revitalising public spaces.

## Notice

Castle Theatre opened in 1995 and in those 24 years the venue has welcomed 1000's of customers. Apart from the odd repair, the main auditorium is still being serviced by the original seating. Using capital funding granted by the Borough Council of Wellingborough (BCW), we are seeking to replace all seats in the auditorium. The seating replacement will not only revamp the main auditorium aesthetically, but provide comfort and quality for our customers increasing their overall experience when visiting the theatre. We are seeking to explore the possibilities of increasing the capacity slightly, by replacing seats which are currently not sold on the seating plan. The current seating is in a state of disrepair and is not fit for purpose. As detailed in the specification, we expect the installation of the new seating to take place between 19 August 2019 and 1 September 2019.
