Description of the contract
We are seeking to appoint a suitably experienced and skilled specialist to design, manufacture, supply and installation of theatre auditoria seating systems. In summary, these include:
• Main Hall:
o a retractable mobile system with ca. 148 seats over 8 rows (subject to further survey, design and structural loadings)
o ca. 160 loose seats, to be used on flat floor in front of retractable mobile system, but also in other configurations without the retractable system, such as banqueting and conferences
o full refurbishment or renewal of existing balcony raked seating (ca. 260 seats)
• Studio Theatre / Cinema:
o ca. 40 fixed, raked seats over 4 rows, with the “cinema experience” in mind
o ca. 20-30 loose seats, to be used on flat floor in front of rake. It would be beneficial if these are of same type as the other loose seats, so that they can be shared between spaces.
• Extra:
o Additional 40-50 loose seats, same style as above, to provide a maximum banqueting capacity of 220.
Although the supply and installation of the seating is not expected prior to April 2022, we will expect the nominated specialist to be able to commence the necessary design works immediately. This is to provide other specialists the information they require (e.g. loadings for structural engineer).
