Tender description

The Market Place Theatre and Arts Centre is one of Northern Ireland’s foremost cultural venues. 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venue has endeavoured to keep up-to-date with technological advances, much of the key equipment in The Market Place is out-of-date, beyond its usable life and/or obsolete.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. ## Contract award Title: The Provision of Technical Equipment Replacement at The Market Place Theatre and Arts Centre Lots: - Lot 1: Main Auditorium PA System Replacement - Lot 2: Main Auditorium Generic Tungsten lighting replacement to LED Lighting, including Intelligent Lighting Fixtures - Lot 5: Replacement of Main Auditorium HD Laser Projector, Lens, Flying Cradle and rigging - Lot 6: Studio Theatre Generic Tungsten lighting replacement to LED Lighting ## Contract award Title: The Provision of Technical Equipment Replacement at The Market Place Theatre and Arts Centre Lots: - Lot 3: Replacement of Main Auditorium Audio Console - Lot 8: Replacement of Studio house Lighting Console ## Contract award Lots: - Lot 4: Replacement of Main Auditorium Lighting Console ## Contract award Lots: - Lot 7: Replacement of Studio Audio Console
