## Summary

The City & County of Swansea is seeking to appoint a specialist contractor for the first phase of the Auditorium Seating Contract at Swansea Grand Theatre. This opportunity falls within the categories of construction, furniture and furnishings, and repair and maintenance services. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage and follows an open procurement method. Notably, this contract is below the threshold for open competition. Interested parties should submit their proposals electronically by 1st July 2025, with an enquiry period ending on 24th June 2025. The contract period will span from August 2025 to September 2026, reflecting a structured approach to refurbishing the theatre’s seating to improve accessibility and comfort.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs operating within the fields of construction and furnishings. The emphasis on enhancing customer experience through improved seating design offers potential for businesses specialising in design and ergonomic seating solutions. Furthermore, with a gross contract value of £350,000, the project provides a substantial financial incentive for businesses with expertise in theatre refurbishments or similar public service projects. Businesses with a robust project management framework, strong construction design management capabilities, and competitive pricing strategies will be well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

We seek to appoint a specialist contractor to refurbish the seating within the main auditorium with a view of improving the customer experience by enhancing the accessible seating (increase provision), and to improve the quality and comfort i.e. leg room and width of the seats without having a major impact on the overall seating capacity. We aim to undertake this work in planned phases to eradicate disruption to the programme of events.
