What is being bought

Published requirement description

Cambridge City Council are looking for a supplier to replace all chairs within Cambridge Corn Exchange. This includes chairs on the Flat Floor Mezzanine, Balcony, Boxes and the Tiered Seating but not replacing the bleacher mechanism that the tiered seating is fixed to.

The new chairs must adapt into our current storage system as space is limited for new storage areas. We would also like to explore the idea of obtaining new carpets for the mezzanine and balcony staircases. Chairs need to be hardwearing for professional use and work for multiple configurations.

To express an interest in the project please provide a case study of previous experience including but not limited to

  • Venue size
  • Seat style
  • Seat numbers
  • Timeframes

Seat Numbers - Seated up to 1470 including guests, holds and spares

Flat Floor: 688

Tiered: 228

Mezzanine: 44

Balcony: 490

Boxes: 20
