## Summary

Colchester Borough Council is seeking expressions of interest for the tender titled "Mercury Rising - Extension and Redevelopment of the Mercury Theatre Colchester (0134) - Reissued." This project falls under the works sector, specifically building construction, and is located in Colchester, within the East of England. The procurement method is selective, following a negotiated procedure, with a tender period that ends on 20th April 2018. The contract is anticipated to commence on 7th January 2019 and conclude by 30th April 2020. Interested contractors must have experience delivering projects with a BREEAM rating of "Very Good" or higher, especially if European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) grants are secured.

This tender presents significant opportunities for contractors specialising in construction and refurbishment, particularly those with expertise in sustainable building practices. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have successfully completed similar projects may find this tender well-suited for their growth ambitions, particularly if they possess the necessary credentials in BREEAM certification. Being part of a project that leverages grant funding could enhance the reputation and portfolio of successful bidders, providing both immediate work and long-term benefits in the structured redevelopment of local community assets.

## Notice

Colchester Borough Council requires an experienced contractor to construct a new two storey extension and within the main building the refurbishment and redevelopment of the existing theatre. The project is partly grant funded. If the Council is successful in securing a grant from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), then a condition of this grant is that the new build elements of the works are assessed following the BREEAM method of assessment and are to achieve a "Very Good" rating. The Council is initially therefore only looking for expressions of interest from contractors who have experience in delivering projects that have achieved a BREEAM rating of "Very Good" or higher. Note that if the Council is unsuccessful in securing the ERDF grant, then the requirement to achieve a BREEAM rating of "Very Good" will be withdrawn from the project before it goes to tender.
