## Summary

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council recently completed a procurement process for a library lighting solution at two venues: Central Library and Wednesbury Library. This project involved the acquisition of lighting, sound, and presentation equipment for both locations, ensuring that the new installations respect the Grade-II listed status of the buildings. The procurement, carried out using the Open procedure method, culminated in the award of the contract on 21st February 2025 to Stage Electrics Partnership Ltd T/A Stage Electrics. The contract, valued at £96,403.18 including VAT, covers a three-year period starting from 31st January 2025 to 30th April 2028, and includes equipment delivery, installation, training, support, and maintenance.

The procurement project required strict adherence to specifications to avoid any impact on the historical architecture, making it an ideal fit for firms with expertise in delivering technical solutions in heritage sites. The long-term maintenance and support aspects also imply opportunities for ongoing business engagement and growth.
