This initiative falls under the works category, specifically concerning theatre construction work, and is based in Coventry, UK. The current procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded to Stage Electrics, following a limited procurement method due to the project's technical complexity. The contract, valued at £160,000, was signed on 16th May 2022. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the fields of specialist installation and bespoke design within the realm of film and television studio systems. Companies that focus on lighting solutions, film equipment, and related infrastructure integration would be particularly well-suited to compete, provided they can demonstrate experience in complex projects and an ability to adapt to unique technical requirements. The collaborative efforts established between Coventry University and Stage Electrics highlight the importance of ongoing communication and expert engagement in executing this sophisticated installation. ## Notice JCT16 minor works contract ### Lot Information Lot 1 Faculty of Arts & Humanities Film Studio Installation This proposal outlines the justification for a VEAT approach to deliver a project to 'fit-out' the Film Studio space within the new Delia Derbyshire Building, as part of the FAH (Faculty of Arts and Humanities) redevelopment project. This is a highly specialised supply and installation project requiring a high-degree of bespoke design, a particular specification and project-service integration. ### Procurement Information Due to the technical complexity of the project and the frequent cycles of technology re-fresh in this field, Faculty colleagues undertook a pre-market engagement some months ago seeking professional advice and guidance to establish a broad project requirement/specification for the complete delivery of a Film Studio capability in the new building. This high-level engagement made clear that one potential supplier: Stage Electrics, had the most comprehensive understanding of the parameters of the project and provided the most credible draft responses, they also best appreciated the areas which need to be developed further. This resulted in a continued dialogue with that supplier, which further informed our understanding of how to translate the Faculty's user-needs into a potential technical solution. The FAH Redevelopment Project team have to continue to undertake significant pre-engagement activity with this Stage Electrics, in order to develop the planned delivery of the technical solution. The installation is highly complex and defined within a number of constraints. This pre-engagement has required direct dialogue between Stage Electrics and the main project contractor, in order to resolve questions about the interaction between the building's physical infrastructure and the TV Studio specialist installation - e.g. the lighting rig's relationship with the building M&E systems. The lighting rig had to be re-designed in consultation with the main contractor as a ground supported system, after it became clear that the building's ceiling was not strong enough to support a suspended lighting rig, as had originally been intended. The resulting proposed design solution has been worked-up with Stage Electrics and is a fully bespoke installation, which sits within the Infrastructure of the building-space and its physical/ M&E parameters. The installation of the lighting gantry, studio lighting and control systems need to interface precisely with the power and data infrastructure as it has been delivered by the main construction contractor. A major aspect of that bespoke design is that the lighting gantry is a custom solution made to fit around the mechanical air-extraction system, (which is itself a specifically designed system appropriate to a studio environment), this needs to interface with the power and data network at the same time. Other suppliers /contractors, would now have to deliver against this very specific design-supply-fit-manage project specification. Further, given the project phase we are now within, the supplier must have the readiness to engage with installation, commissioning/shakedown and handover phases of the project timeline and the project management systems and relationships. The collaboration we have established with Stage Electrics has brought a high degree of added-value to the project, both in terms of the efficacy of the design proposal, which has been achieved because of their market-leading capability in design and supply of such systems; also the establishment of lines of communication and collaboration between them as supplier, our estates project management team and the main redevelopment project contractors. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012702-2022 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 May 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 15 May 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £160,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | COVENTRY UNIVERSITY | | Locality | COVENTRY | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV1 5FB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG33 Coventry | | Local authority | Coventry | | Electoral ward | St Michael's | | Westminster constituency | Coventry South | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | STAGE ELECTRICS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 31527260 - Lighting systems - 32321100 - Film equipment - 45212322 - Theatre construction work ## Release History - 16 May 2022 at 19:55 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012702-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.coventry.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
