Summary of the contracting process

Saltash Town Council plans internal remodelling and refurbishment at the Guildhall on Lower Fore Street in Saltash. The works adapt the occupied civic building for revised council operations and meetings. They include bespoke horseshoe-shaped council chamber desks for about 20 users; audio-visual equipment for hybrid meetings, including Microsoft Teams connectivity, microphones, displays, speakers and control systems; and an assisted listening system. The work also covers new power and data infrastructure and alterations in the first-floor Long Room, ground-floor Council Chamber and Clerk’s Office, replacement Council Chamber radiators, and acoustic underlay and new carpet in the Long Room. The contractor will commission and test installations, provide certification and training, make good affected areas, and maintain safe operation of the premises throughout the works.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Saltash Town Council has stated its intention to seek tenders, but this process does not yet carry an invitation to tender. The council expects to use an open procedure and anticipates publishing the next notice by 30 November 2026. The planned contract period runs from 4 January to 12 March 2027. The budget breakdown records £100,000 for the 2026/27 financial year. The procurement is presented as one package of internal works, with no separate lots described. The available information does not set out evaluation criteria or participation requirements. These dates and the budget are planning expectations; the later tender will set out the terms on which suppliers can compete.

The planned work is suited to building contractors able to coordinate refurbishment and adaptation inside an occupied civic premises, while keeping the building safe and operational. Relevant capability includes internal construction and making good, bespoke furniture manufacture and installation, electrical and data infrastructure, heating alterations, and the supply, installation and integration of meeting-room audio-visual and assisted-listening systems. Suppliers will need to manage commissioning, testing, certification and user training as part of delivery. The package combines building trades with specialist technology, electrical and furnishing work, so firms with suitable in-house breadth or reliable specialist supply-chain partners are well placed to prepare. The council indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises are suitable for this procurement. The published scope calls for suitably qualified contractors; it does not identify specific accreditations or minimum experience requirements.
