Located in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria (UKD1), this project aims to modernise and diversify the Forum and Market Hall. The procurement process consists of two stages with Stage 1 focusing on design, development, consents, and approvals starting on 26 February 2024, and ending on 28 November 2025, and Stage 2 dedicated to construction. The deadline for tender submissions is 5 January 2024 at 12:00 PM, and all entries need to be electronically submitted through “the-chest.org.uk”.

Companies proficient in construction works, especially those with experience in complex refurbishments and public realm upgrades, would find this project particularly fitting. The procurement process has set criteria that place an equal emphasis on quality and pricing, allowing diverse business entities, including large-scale organisations, to compete effectively.
