## Summary

The Cornwall Council has initiated a public procurement process for the appointment of a main contractor for the redevelopment of the King Edward Mine Museum. This project is classified under the construction industry and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender, titled "Invitation to Tender For King Edward Mine Museum Redevelopment," has a total contract value of £1,100,000, with a minimum value of £900,000. The tender period concluded on 31st July 2015, with the contract scheduled to commence on 28th September 2015 and run until 17th June 2016.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and renovation, particularly those experienced in traditional building techniques associated with heritage sites. Contractors with expertise in JCT-based building contracts and those who can demonstrate a strong capability in managing projects within operational environments, like "live" sites, will be well-positioned to compete. This redevelopment effort aims to restore and enhance historical structures, thereby offering prospects for firms focused on conservation and sustainable building practices.

There is likely to be an element of Contractor Design work for specialist items. The project will involve many traditional skills usually found in Listed Building work. The works will also be undertaken on a 'live' site with business occupation of the Count House and Carpenters Shop and a seasonal opening of the Museum buildings.
