Companies and artists come from all over in order to perform in Armagh City. There are expectations from these companies and from the audiences that attend, that the venue provides the best possible experiences. While the venue has endeavoured to keep up-to-date with technological advances, much of the key equipment in The Market Place is out-of-date, beyond its usable life and/or obsolete. In addition, a significant proportion of the equipment used employs dated technologies that are extremely energy inefficient. There is a significant concern that crucial elements of equipment could fail completely leading to possible performance cancellation, spend on hiring replacement equipment and reputational damage. ## Lots (8) ### Lot 1: Main Auditorium PA System Replacement - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 31000000, 31600000, 31700000, 31710000, 32000000 - **Estimated Value:** £46,200 - **Description:** The purchase of a replacement PA System Replacement for the MPT Main Auditorium. - **Contract Period:** 02/08/2026 to 18/09/2026 ### Lot 2: Main Auditorium Generic Tungsten lighting replacement to LED Lighting, including Intelligent Lighting Fixtures - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 31000000, 31600000, 31700000, 31710000, 32000000 - **Estimated Value:** £71,500 - **Description:** The purchase of replacement of Generic Tungsten lighting to LED Lighting, including Intelligent Lighting Fixtures in the MPT Main Auditorium - **Contract Period:** 02/08/2026 to 18/09/2026 ### Lot 3: Replacement of Main Auditorium Audio Console - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 31000000, 31600000, 31700000, 31710000, 32000000 - **Estimated Value:** £27,500 - **Description:** The replacement of the Audio Console in the MPT Main Auditorium. - **Contract Period:** 02/08/2026 to 18/09/2026 ### Lot 4: Replacement of Main Auditorium Lighting Console - **Lot id:** `4` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 31000000, 31600000, 31700000, 31710000, 32000000 - **Estimated Value:** £47,300 - **Description:** The replacement of Main Auditorium Lighting Console - **Contract Period:** 02/08/2026 to 18/09/2026 ### Lot 5: Replacement of Main Auditorium HD Laser Projector, Lens, Flying Cradle and rigging - **Lot id:** `5` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 31000000, 31600000, 31700000, 31710000, 32000000 - **Estimated Value:** £22,000 - **Description:** The replacement of HD Laser Projector, Lens, Flying Cradle and rigging in the MPT Main Auditorium - **Contract Period:** 02/08/2026 to 18/09/2026 ### Lot 6: Studio Theatre Generic Tungsten lighting replacement to LED Lighting - **Lot id:** `6` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 31000000, 31600000, 31700000, 31710000, 32000000 - **Estimated Value:** £38,500 - **Description:** The replacement of the Studio Theatre Generic Tungsten lighting replacement to LED Lighting - **Contract Period:** 02/08/2026 to 18/09/2026 ### Lot 7: Replacement of Studio Audio Console - **Lot id:** `7` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 31000000, 31600000, 31700000, 31710000, 32000000 - **Estimated Value:** £16,500 - **Description:** The replacement of the Audio Console in the MPT Studio - **Contract Period:** 02/08/2026 to 18/09/2026 ### Lot 8: Replacement of Studio house Lighting Console - **Lot id:** `8` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 31000000, 31600000, 31700000, 31710000, 32000000 - **Estimated Value:** £16,500 - **Description:** The replacement of the house Lighting Console in the MPT Studio - **Contract Period:** 02/08/2026 to 18/09/2026 ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (4) - **Award:** The Provision of Technical Equipment Replacement at The Market Place Theatre and Arts Centre (pending) - Award id: `1` - Supplier(s): **McCusker Pro Audio Ltd** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-185503` - Value: £259,313 (inc.
