## About this tender

Torbay Council requires the supply of PA and recording equipment for its Council meetings and Development Management Committee meetings which are currently held at the Riviera International Conference Centre, Chestnut Avenue, Torquay, TQ2 5LZ. The meetings may be held in alternative venues if required and equipment would be expected to be provided for these meetings. The Contract will be awarded as two Lots: Lot One: supply of PA and recording equipment to Council meetings; Lot Two: supply of PA and recording equipment to Development Management Committee meetings.

There may or may not be an additional requirement during the Contract period, for supply of PA and/or recording equipment for any other Torbay Council functions (if required).

This Retender opportunity follows on from the recent Request for Tender process which resulted in the Contract not being awarded, due to all submitted pricing exceeding the maximum spend threshold allowed for the Request for Tender process (over the maximum four year Contract period). Additionally all submitted pricing exceeded the Authority's approximate annual budget for this service.

Full details of the requirements and revised details of the Authority's available maximum annual budget are contained in the Tender documents.
