## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Thame Town Council is currently at the planning stage and relates to the construction of the Thame Community & Youth Centre. This project involves demolishing an old changing room block and constructing a community and youth centre on the Southern Road Recreation Ground. It is categorised under "Building construction work" with its main procurement category being "works." The planning notice was published on 3rd October 2025, and the procurement method is yet to be finalised, though options include a traditional contract or design and build. The contract is planned to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude by 1st June 2027, with potential extensions up to the end of 2027. The project is expected to cost above £2 million, serving various regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, and others. The council expects to announce further notice by the end of February 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in large-scale construction projects, particularly those experienced in public sector works. It is especially favourable for SMEs and construction firms capable of undertaking substantial building projects. Given the considerable budget and scope, businesses with expertise in design and build contracts or those that can manage traditional procurement processes would be well-suited. Participating enterprises have the chance to become instrumental in creating a central hub for the community, enhancing local amenities and potentially securing further work through renewals and extensions. This project could provide long-term growth opportunities and establish a lasting influence on the community’s infrastructure landscape.
