SBC 0626 Phase 2 Provision of Stage Lighting Supply Equipment at the Gordon Craig Theatre Stevenage
Authority: Stevenage Borough Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionStevenage Borough Council are currently seeking tenders for a supplier to provide stage lighting and house lighting systems in-line with modern installations supporting the current and future programme the Gordon Craig Theatre Offers. The primary objectives of the project are detailed clearly in the Specification. The key items to note are the reduction in running costs and energy usage achieved by changing from tungsten/incandescent light sources to LED alternatives across the production and house lighting systems. Reducing the overall operational embodied carbon of the venues is in line with recommendations in the Theatres Green Book and reducing the time spent maintaining these systems.
The tender documents can be accessed from the 'Current Tenders' area of the Supply Hertfordshire website intendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/… ↗ and selecting the 'View Details' button of this project. Please note the deadline for returns and allow sufficient time to make your return as late returns will not be permitted. Any questions relating to this tender should be made via correspondence on the website and can be addressed to the main contact as shown in the details above.

Published award criteria (2)
- Price: 80%
- Quality: 20%
- Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
