The contract is for refurbishment and construction work at the community centre in Horley.

The scope calls for a contractor able to manage multiple specialist trades, sequencing and interfaces within an existing building, and to deliver accessibility-related facilities including a Changing Places toilet. Suppliers must be able to prepare a full tender response after completing the Procurement Specific Questionnaire, work under the JCT Design & Build 2024 contract, and accommodate optional works and instructed changes.
