This procurement process is currently in the planning stage with a future notice anticipated for late November 2024. The major refurbishment, funded by the Government’s Levelling Up Fund (LUF), will transform the library into a flagship Culture and Business Hub, featuring enhanced library, heritage, and archive spaces, a business hub, meeting rooms, workspaces, and improved hospitality facilities. The contract period is expected to start in March 2025 and last for about 12-14 months, including a 12-month defect rectification period, under a Single Stage open tender process evaluated on cost, quality, and social value.
