What is being bought

The Barbican Centre is refurbishing its main theatre over the period of February 2026 to May 2026 and is seeking to replace its tungsten production lighting system with more energy efficient LED production light systems during this time. This tendering exercise is being undertaken using the electronic tendering system ‘City of London Corporation Sourcing & Contracts Portal’ (https://cityoflondon.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/). Suppliers will need to register an interest on the system in order to participate and registration is free. This is a supply only contract. The delivery of the lights for the main theatre is required within 8 weeks from when the purchase order is raised and those for the pit theatre (e.g. small moving profile lights) are required within 10 weeks from when the purchase order is raised to align with the period of refurbishment and the production schedule of the theatre. The estimated contract value given at sections 31 and 32 is for the supply of the Theatre LED Lights. The estimated total value is £620,000 excluding VAT.
