Market House, a grade II listed building in Thame, Oxfordshire, requires refurbishment of its toilet facilities, including the installation of a Changing Places toilet. The project is in the tender phase, with a tender period ending on 4th November 2024, and construction scheduled to begin on 2nd December 2024, culminating by 30th June 2025. Key deadlines include planning consent conditions already met under application P24/S0622/FUL and the need to complete interior works before exterior tasks begin, aligning with the reoccupation of the building by the Citizens Advice Bureau in August 2025. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, specifically those specialising in public facility renovations and accessibility installations. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to apply, given the open procedure procurement method and the project’s suitability criteria. Successful completion of this project will not only enhance the bidder’s portfolio with a sensitive heritage site upgrade but also bolster credentials in public sector works and compliance with accessibility standards, potentially unlocking further opportunities for future contracts. ## Notice Market House, located in the centre of Thame, Oxfordshire, is a grade II listed building owned by South Oxfordshire District Council.
