The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 31st August 2026. The project, which has an estimated value of £175,000, will commence on 1st October 2026, and is scheduled to be completed by 30th April 2027. The procurement method is an open procedure, making this an accessible opportunity for businesses, especially SMEs, to participate. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses experienced in construction, specifically those with expertise in mechanical and electrical service installations in heritage buildings. The nature of the project, which involves work on a Grade II listed complex, necessitates contractors skilled in managing works within buildings of historical significance, ensuring compliance with statutory regulations and conservational requirements. Ideal candidates include those capable of providing a fully operational installation that adheres to industry best practices, making this an attractive opportunity for firms seeking to expand their portfolios within the heritage-sensitive construction sector. ## Notice Abingdon-on-Thames Town Council wishes to engage a contractor to undertake refurbishment of Abbey Hall, which includes the separation of the existing building into two independently functioning buildings: Abbey Hall and Guildhall. The project requires the disconnection, alteration, and installation of M&E services necessary to enable the operational separation of the two buildings, ensuring that each has independent building services while maintaining the integrity and functionality of the retained systems. The project comprises the modification and reconfiguration of the existing mechanical and electrical services within the Guildhall to facilitate the operational separation of the two buildings. The works include the removal of redundant services within the Guildhall, the disconnection and isolation of all interconnecting services between the Guildhall and Abbey Hall, the modification of retained services within the Guildhall, and the installation of new services to accommodate newly formed rooms and partitions. The scope of this contract is principally confined to the Guildhall. Works within Abbey Hall are limited to the safe disconnection and isolation of interconnecting services. The reinstatement or modification of retained services within Abbey Hall is excluded from this contract and will be undertaken by others. The Contractor shall provide a complete, fully operational installation, including all incidental and ancillary works necessary to achieve a compliant and functional system. The works shall be carried out in accordance with the project drawings and specifications, the JDP General Technical Specification for Mechanical and Electrical Services (Parts 3M and 3E), and all relevant statutory regulations, British Standards, and industry best practice. The Guildhall, together with Roysse's School and the Gateway at the west end of the Guildhall, forms part of a Grade II listed complex. Contractors shall ensure that no building services, fixings, supports, or ancillary installations are attached to, penetrate, or otherwise adversely affect the listed building fabric. The extent of the listed elements and any associated heritage constraints shall be verified on site prior to the commencement of works, and all activities shall be undertaken with due regard to the historic significance of the building and in accordance with any applicable conservation requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4668bf63-48d9-409c-a22b-a28d891c1769 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 31 Aug 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2026 - 30 Apr 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £175,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ABINGDON TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | ABINGDON | | Post town | Oxford | | Postcode | OX14 3HU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | Vale of White Horse | | Electoral ward | Abingdon Abbey Northcourt | | Westminster constituency | Oxford West and Abingdon | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 27 Jul 2026 at 14:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4668bf63-48d9-409c-a22b-a28d891c1769 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4668bf63-48d9-409c-a22b-a28d891c1769 27th July 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/be4fdd6d-d931-4a49-8b55-69dd93a8514f Tender pack and specs attached.
