Summary of the contracting process

The South Oxfordshire District Council, in partnership with the Vale of White Horse District Council, has initiated a public procurement tender for the design, refurbishment, and associated works at two arts centres: the Cornerstone Arts Centre in Didcot and the Beacon Arts Centre in Wantage. This project falls under the 'Works' category and involves refurbishment activities, with a gross estimated value of £780,000. The tender process is currently active, and the procurement stage is tender. Interested parties must submit their proposals by 12:00 PM on 8th August 2025, with the last date to raise any queries being 5th August 2025. The project is located within the UKJ14 region, with electronic submissions facilitated through the Proactis e-procurement system.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in refurbishment and design, particularly those with experience in arts venue upgrades. Companies capable of delivering high-quality results with due consideration of social value are well-suited for this competitive tender, as the evaluation criteria weigh quality at 40% and price at 60%. With South Oxfordshire District Council acting as the buyer, this initiative also represents an opportunity to establish a working relationship with local government bodies, potentially paving the way for future collaborations. Businesses leveraging this opportunity can not only grow their portfolio but also contribute positively to community-focused projects in the arts sector.
