Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council is procuring refurbishment and fire repair works at the Barrow Centre on the Mount Edgcumbe Estate, to restore the parts of the accommodation block damaged by a fire on 4 February 2025. The works are intended to re-establish commercial operations while respecting the site’s heritage, surroundings and physical constraints. The affected northern wing is a split-level section of the historic U-shaped stable block, comprising Yew Tree Cottage, Horseshoe Cottage and workers’ flats 3 and 6, providing eight bedrooms in total. The wider Barrow Centre includes a visitor centre, café, shops, workers’ accommodation and holiday lets. The work is classified as construction work and will be delivered at Mount Edgcumbe in Cornwall, England.

The procurement reached tender: Cornwall Council invited offers through an open procedure below the threshold. The buyer set a submission deadline of 11 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract period runs from 12 September 2026 to 12 July 2027. Its estimated value is £1,100,000 including the stated currency of GBP. This is a works contract covering the fire repair and refurbishment project described above. The published procurement information identifies the work as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The opportunity is presented as a single construction requirement rather than a set of separately described lots. The tender information does not state an award scoring breakdown in the available procurement details.

This opportunity suits building contractors able to undertake substantial fire-damage repair and refurbishment in an occupied or operational visitor-estate setting. Relevant suppliers are likely to be those with experience restoring mixed-use buildings containing holiday accommodation, staff flats, retail units and hospitality facilities, and with the management capacity to coordinate multiple property areas within one project. The requirement will favour businesses able to work carefully around a historic stable-yard complex, its heritage significance, surrounding parkland and site constraints, while reinstating accommodation and supporting the return of commercial activity. Contractors with practical experience of post-fire building repair, structural and building-fabric reinstatement, and refurbishment of older properties should find the scope relevant. The buyer has identified the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.
