## Summary

Sunderland City Council is currently managing a public procurement process for the 'Elephant Tea Rooms' project, which falls under the construction industry, specifically for art and cultural buildings. This tender is active and involves the construction of new shop fronts along with extensive external repair and restoration works. The open procurement method allows submissions until the deadline of 4 March 2022 at 12:00 GMT, with the contract valued at £300,000 and a duration of 210 days post-award. Bid opening will occur shortly after submission closure on the same day at 13:00 GMT.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction firms, particularly those specialising in restoration and heritage projects, as well as businesses experienced in electrical and mechanical (M and E) works. Given the quality and social value criteria weighted heavily in the evaluation process, companies that demonstrate a commitment to quality workmanship and community engagement would be well-suited to compete. This contract could aid in expanding their portfolio within the cultural sector of the UK, capitalising on both the financial value and the potential for positive publicity.

## Notice

The procurement is for two new shop fronts, an extensive new shop front for the original Elephant Tea Rooms building and a separate smaller shop front for the adjacent terraced property along with external repair and restoration works to include masonry repairs to the terracotta, faience and brickwork, reinstatement of some lost terracotta features, window repairs and replacement and some areas of new leadwork dressings. There will be some M and E works too associated with the new shop fronts.
