UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Crewe Town Council is procuring building works to refurbish, alter and combine two adjoining office buildings at 1 and 2 Chantry Court, Crewe, into a single operational headquarters. The works cover selective internal strip-out and demolition, new structural openings, removal of a staircase and floor infill, fire-resisting and standard partitions, internal and fire doors, ceiling, flooring and decoration repairs, a new kitchen, replacement heating with two gas-fired condensing boilers and radiators, and electrical, lighting, fire alarm, emergency lighting, access control and structured data installations. The contractor must provide labour, supervision, plant, materials, equipment, testing, commissioning, certification and handover documentation. The works category is construction work. Delivery is at the Council’s operational premises in Crewe, with disruption to Council services minimised.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 18 September 2026 at 11:59pm, and completed tenders had to be emailed to procurement@crewetowncouncil.gov.uk by 12 noon on 23 September 2026. The contract period is 1 October to 20 December 2026. The estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT (£96,000 including VAT); the Council’s budget is £80,000, although bids above that may be considered. Evaluation is based on the most advantageous tender: price carries 80% and quality 20%. Quality covers relevant experience, methodology, project management, programme delivery and health and safety. The deadline was extended by one week to allow consideration of clarification responses and alternative or value-engineered solutions.

This opportunity suits an SME building contractor able to manage a complete refurbishment and alteration project in an occupied local-authority environment. Bidders need capability across structural alterations, demolition and strip-out, partitions, fire doors, finishes, kitchen installation, heating replacement, electrical and data systems, fire and emergency lighting, access control, testing and commissioning. The requirement favours a contractor with relevant experience of coordinating multiple trades, supervising labour and subcontractors, managing a programme, and handing over certification and accurate project documentation. Strong health and safety management is important, including compliance with Building Regulations, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and other statutory requirements. Suppliers should also be able to plan work carefully to minimise disruption to Council operations and demonstrate practical, compliant solutions where scope or delivery options are reviewed.
