## Summary

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council is exploring improvements to the audio-visual systems at Grimsby Town Hall. The intended purchase is audio-visual equipment, with the council seeking to understand technical solutions and possible delivery models before developing a final specification for a future procurement. The work is for Grimsby Town Hall, in Grimsby. The council’s aim is to improve the building’s audio-visual provision; suppliers may wish to consider equipment and delivery approaches suited to a town hall environment.

This is at planning stage: the council is conducting preliminary market engagement, not inviting tenders. It wants organisations to review its engagement material and submit questionnaires through its procurement portal. The council expects to use responses to prepare an options paper, inform funding decisions and develop a specification for any later tender. Questionnaire responses are expected by 27 November 2026. The council estimates a gross value of £214,000. Funding has not yet been secured, so the procurement and its final scope depend on the outcome of the options and funding work. One lot is planned, with an indicative contract period from 26 October to 26 November 2027. No evaluation basis for a future tender is set out at this stage.

The engagement is relevant to suppliers of audio-visual equipment and firms able to advise on or deliver technical solutions for public-building environments. The council is seeking market insight on available systems, delivery models, indicative costs and supplier capacity, so businesses with a clear understanding of solution options and implementation approaches can help shape the emerging specification. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable for the planned lot. This is an opportunity to contribute to early planning rather than compete for a contract now; supplier responses are intended to support the council’s case for funding and inform the design of any subsequent tender. No particular accreditation, technical standard or experience threshold is set out for this engagement.

## Notice

The Authority is undertaking this Preliminary Market Engagement to understand the available technical solutions, delivery models, indicative costs and market capacity for improving audio-visual provision at Grimsby Town Hall. Funding has not yet been secured. Responses will inform an options paper by helping us understand potential solutions and their indicative costs. This options paper will be used to secure funding and assist the Authority to develop a final specification, for any resulting tender process.
