## Summary

Chelmsford City Council procured a theatre booking and ticketing system for its theatre venues. The requirement covers software and information systems supporting theatre bookings and ticket sales, delivered for the council’s theatre operations in the Chelmsford area. It was a goods procurement conducted through the G-Cloud 14 framework. The buyer is a local authority, so relevant suppliers are businesses providing packaged or hosted systems for arts and entertainment venues, particularly platforms that can manage ticket inventory, customer bookings and the operational needs of multiple council-run theatres. The stated requirement is focused on a theatre booking and ticketing system rather than general-purpose information technology or unrelated venue services. The selected supplier, Spektrix Limited, is based in London and provides the relevant specialist system capability.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Chelmsford City Council used a limited call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, through an award procedure without prior publication of a competition. The published rationale identifies the framework call-off as the basis for using this route. The award is active and was made to Spektrix Limited on 3 August 2026. The associated contract is active, valued at £250,000, and was signed on 3 August 2026. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The stated award criterion was price. The tender comprised one lot, which is recorded as cancelled even though an active award and contract are reported for the requirement. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Chelmsford City Council for a specialist theatre booking and ticketing platform procured through a public-sector cloud framework. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need a proven system for theatre venues, with the capacity to support bookings and ticket sales in a council environment. Experience supplying public-sector or cultural organisations would help demonstrate understanding of governance, operational continuity and service requirements. Suppliers should also be able to offer their solution through an established framework route such as G-Cloud, because the council used a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. The evaluation was based on price, so a future competitor would need a clear, competitive commercial model alongside reliable software and evidence that it can support the council’s theatre operations.
