About

Eastleigh Borough Council is seeking a contractor to replace the auditorium seating at The Point Theatre in Eastleigh to restore full capacity of 318 seats after 59 seats were found structurally failed and taken out of use. The existing seating was installed 30 years ago; the project aims to reduce health and safety risks, improve audience comfort, increase durability, and modernise the auditorium appearance. Upgraded seating must enhance visual quality and consistency, increase longevity and reduce maintenance, comply fully with fire safety, evacuation and accessibility standards, optimise audience sightlines (in particular for Row Q), and retain or enhance the existing seating layout and capacity. The council is seeking quotations for two options: Lot 1 – replacement of the auditorium seating on the existing retractable mechanism; Lot 2 – replacement of the retractable mechanism/platform system inclusive of new auditorium seating. Contractors with appropriate skills, experience and financial standing are invited to submit tenders as described in the ITT specification documentation.
