## Summary

The procurement process involves Colchester Borough Council seeking expressions of interest for the project titled "Mercury Rising - Extension and Redevelopment of the Mercury Theatre Colchester." This project falls under the building construction industry and is located in Colchester, East of England. The procurement method employed is selective, specifically a negotiated procedure, with the tender period having ended on 22 August 2018. The contract is valued at £7,375,000 and is set to run from 7 January 2019 until 30 April 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for contractors specialising in building construction, particularly those with experience in achieving BREEAM ratings of "Very Good" or higher, as this is a requirement contingent upon securing grant funding. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction sector would be particularly well-suited to compete, given that the council encourages participation from SMEs. Engaging in this project can enhance business growth and establish long-term partnerships within the public sector.

## Notice

Colchester Borough Council requires an experienced contractor to construct a new two storey extension and within the main building the refurbishment and redevelopment of the existing theatre. The project is partly grant funded. If the Council is successful in securing a grant from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), then a condition of this grant is that the new build elements of the works are assessed following the BREEAM method of assessment and are to achieve a "Very Good" rating. The Council is initially therefore only looking for expressions of interest from contractors who have experience in delivering projects that have achieved a BREEAM rating of "Very Good" or higher. Note that if the Council is unsuccessful in securing the ERDF grant, then the requirement to achieve a BREEAM rating of "Very Good" will be withdrawn from the project before it goes to tender.
