Summary of the contracting process

Dorchester Parish Council is inviting tenders for the refurbishment of a sports pavilion located at Recreation Ground, Drayton Road, Dorchester on Thames, Oxfordshire. The project involves changes to the internal layout and external modifications, including a small rear extension, all classified under construction work. This open procedure is at the tender stage, with a submission deadline of 27th April 2026. The contract will be awarded by 26th May 2026, and the estimated contract value is £270,000. All eligible suppliers are encouraged to submit bids electronically or in writing, while a site visit is required to fully understand the project requirements.

This procurement process presents a valuable opportunity for construction companies, particularly those experienced in building refurbishments, to expand their portfolio with a regional authority-backed project. Businesses within a 60-mile radius of the site, possessing at least £12 million in public liability insurance, are well-suited to participate. The project requires suppliers specialised in building-only contracts, as the design responsibility is with appointed consultants. Companies that excel in robust, vandal-resistant installations suited for high-traffic environments will find this tender particularly advantageous for growth and reputation in the construction industry.
