## Summary

The Preston City Council is currently running a selective tender process for the "Harris Your Place - Capital Works" project, which aims to enhance the facilities at the Harris Museum in Preston, England. The procurement, categorised under works, includes essential electrical installation, plumbing, mechanical installations, and building completion work, with an estimated contract value of £5,500,000. The tender period is set to close on 16 August 2021, with the contract expected to commence on 1 April 2022 and conclude on 31 December 2022. This initiative falls within the North West region of the United Kingdom, focusing primarily on the improvement and accessibility of public spaces at the site.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction and renovation sectors, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in electrical work, plumbing, mechanical installations, and general building works. Companies that can demonstrate experience with public sector projects and have the capacity to manage contracts of this scale will be particularly well-suited to compete. Given the project's emphasis on creating accessible and functional public spaces, contractors with expertise in inclusive design and renovations may have an edge in successfully bidding for this contract.
