## Summary

The Colchester and North East Essex Building Preservation Trust is seeking to appoint a main contractor for the Jumbo Water Tower project, with a procurement process currently in the Tender stage. The project involves extensive construction work, including repair and upgrading of historical building elements and installation of new facilities. The location for this project is in Colchester, South East United Kingdom, with key deadlines including the tender period ending on 17th January 2025 and the contract period spanning from 21st April 2025 to 31st May 2027. This procurement falls under the CPV category for construction work, particularly preservation services of historical sites and buildings, and will follow a restricted procedure for selection.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for companies with expertise in historical building preservation and construction. It is particularly well-suited for experienced contractors with the resources to engage in a multi-stage process, starting with input on project design and culminating in the full construction phase. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are not specifically targeted, suggesting that larger, more established firms may have a competitive edge. This project can enhance the selected contractor's portfolio, providing exposure to high-profile heritage restoration work.
