## Summary

The Colchester Borough Council is initiating a tender for the project titled "Museum Resource Centre Extension and Refurbishment." This project falls under the works category, specifically building construction, alteration, and extension. Located in Colchester, in the East of England, the procurement process is currently open and follows an open procedure method. The tender was published on 23rd January 2017, and bids must be submitted by 10th February 2017. The estimated value of the contract is between £100,000 and £500,000, with the contract period set to commence on 6th March 2017 and conclude on 18th August 2017. The Authority is particularly keen on timely completion due to the relocation of staff.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in building works, particularly in construction and refurbishment. Businesses with expertise in managing extensions and alterations will find this project particularly advantageous. Given the emphasis on timely delivery, contractors who can demonstrate efficient project management and quality workmanship will be well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service will be relocating their full complement of Museum Resource Centre staff from the current town centre location. Bids are invited for the construction of a single-storey extension and undertake the internal refurbishment of the building at the new location. Given the need to relocate staff it is important that the new extension is completed on schedule. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. The Access Code is 294HAZBQ3Y
