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 scope covers selective internal strip-out and demolition, new structural openings, staircase removal and structural floor infill, fire-resisting and standard partitions, internal and fire doors, ceiling, flooring and decoration repairs, a new kitchen, heating replacement including two gas-fired condensing boilers and radiators, and electrical, lighting, fire alarm, emergency lighting, access control and structured data installations. The contractor must provide all labour, supervision, plant, materials, equipment, testing, commissioning, certification and handover documentation. Work will take place in an operational local authority environment, with disruption to Council services minimised.

The procurement has reached tender: Crewe Town Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 5 September 2026 at 11:59pm, and completed tenders had to be received electronically by email by 16 September 2026 at 12 noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 20 December 2026. The estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT and £96,000 including VAT. There is one lot. The contract will be awarded to the Most Advantageous Tender, assessed on price and quality: price carries 80% and quality 20%. Quality assessment covers relevant experience, methodology, project management arrangements, programme delivery, and health and safety.

This opportunity suits building contractors with experience delivering refurbishment and alteration works in occupied public or commercial buildings. Bidders need the capability to manage structural changes, demolition and strip-out, fire-resisting construction, doors, finishes, kitchen installation, heating replacement and coordinated electrical, life-safety, security and data systems. The contractor must be able to supply and supervise the workforce, plant, materials and equipment, and arrange testing, commissioning, certification and handover. Strong project management, realistic programme control and effective health and safety arrangements will be important because Council operations will continue during the works. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established regional building firms as well as larger contractors with the necessary multi-trade capacity.
