## Summary

The City of London is undertaking a procurement process to supply LED production lighting systems for the refurbishment of the Barbican Theatre. This supply-only contract is valued at £620,000 excluding VAT, and involves replacing the existing tungsten lighting system with energy-efficient LED lights. The refurbishment project spans from February 2026 to May 2026, requiring delivery within eight weeks for the main theatre and ten weeks for the pit theatre. The process is being conducted through an open procedure facilitated by the City of London Corporation Sourcing & Contracts Portal, providing an electronic submission method. All interested suppliers must register on this platform to participate.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for suppliers in the lighting equipment industry to expand their operations, especially those able to deliver high-quality LED lighting solutions that align with the specifications required for theatre productions. The contract was awarded to Adlib Audio Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise, highlighting the potential for SMEs to secure significant contracts in public procurement. With five bids received in the final stage, businesses with expertise in goods supply and the capability to deliver within strict timelines have a competitive edge in such tenders. The procurement process encourages participation from diverse suppliers, potentially fostering growth and increasing market presence within the region.
