Somerset Council is overseeing a procurement process for the construction of a new Visitor Centre in Ham Hill Country Park. This project, categorised under building construction work, is valued at £1,500,000 and addresses the creation of exhibition spaces, a café, and WC facilities. The procurement method used was an open procedure (below threshold), and the tender period was set to end on 22 November 2024. The contract period will start on 3 January 2025 and conclude by 29 September 2025. The tender belongs to the works category and includes delivery locations within the UK and other international territories.

This construction project presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in building construction works, particularly those focused on cultural, exhibition, and leisure facilities.
