The project includes upgrades to concert-hall audio and rigging, feature lighting, the balcony sound booth and flooring; a new catering kitchen and improved bar; relocation of the staff office; a new cloakroom; and improvements to dressing rooms in both venues. The building work also covers demolition and removal, partitions, wall linings, floor, wall and ceiling finishes and decoration, doors, fitted furniture, sanitaryware, mechanical and electrical installations, and drainage. This is a multi-trade venue refurbishment rather than a single-equipment supply, with specialist improvements to performance spaces alongside kitchen, bar and back-of-house changes. The council invited offers through a tender using an open procedure. The procurement is arranged as one lot, with no variants permitted. The tender submission deadline was 3 December 2026 at 12:00, and the stated contract period runs from 4 January to 27 August 2027. The bid validity period is 120 days. Bids are to be submitted electronically, in English; the scheduled bid opening is at the submission deadline. The published procurement data gives no tender or lot value. Suitability is the stated selection criterion, with details set out in the tender package; staff names and qualifications must be provided. The notice states that community benefits form part of the requirement, with the expected benefits described in the tender documents. This opportunity is best suited to a building contractor able to manage a coordinated internal refurbishment across two public performance venues, bringing together building fabric and finishes, fitted interiors, sanitaryware, mechanical and electrical work, and drainage. Relevant experience in occupied or specialist cultural buildings, concert halls, theatres, or similar public venues would help suppliers understand the interaction between performance-space requirements and kitchen, bar, cloakroom, office and dressing-room works. The improvements to audio, rigging, lighting and the balcony sound booth also call for effective coordination with specialist venue systems, alongside the wider construction programme. Bidders need to be able to identify the staff assigned to delivery and provide their names and qualifications. The requirement includes community benefits, so suppliers should be prepared to address the commitments set out in the tender package. ## Notice Alterations and internal refurbishment work to Troon Concert Hall and Walker Hall to improve the Concert Hall audio and rigging equipment, feature lighting, balcony sound booth and flooring.
