Notice Title

The Hudson Building Extension Project

Notice Description

The Hudson Building was built for purpose in 2015. The proposal is to erect a 2-storey extension to one end of the existing building to provide more space for bricklaying, plastering etc, whilst also installing new painting and decorating booths to the first-floor area. The overall scope also includes the demolition of the current painting bays to provide a further expansion capability for carpentry and joinery as well as the installation of 2 classrooms to allow for non-practical teaching in the area. All plans have been agreed & signed off by the relevant curriculum specialists as being suitable for their requirements. The intended outcome of the process is to determine the most advantageous tender (MAT) and select a single contractor to undertake the works. Works are to be carried out in compliance with all applicable UK regulations and British Standards, with particular regard to the operational demands of a Further Education campus environment. Works must be completed by 30.07.27 please see the tender pack available for download at https://www.in-tendhost.co.uk/educationportal/aspx/Home
