## Summary

Watford Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the 'Town Hall Refurbishment' project, which falls under the 'works' industry category and is located in Watford, United Kingdom. The procurement utilised a direct award method, given the specific challenges and historic significance associated with the refurbishment of the Grade II listed Watford Town Hall and the Colosseum, which are externally combined. The contract has been awarded to Morgan Sindall Construction and Infrastructure Limited, with a contract period starting on 14th October 2025 and ending on 16th October 2026. The procurement stage is now at the award phase, with a gross contract value of £13,550,803 GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in refurbishment and construction, particularly those with experience in working on listed buildings or complex infrastructural projects. Large enterprises like Morgan Sindall, who have prior experience and a strong understanding of the intricate requirements of such projects, are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in managing large-scale refurbishment projects within historical and cultural contexts can leverage these opportunities to grow their presence and capabilities in the public sector.

### Procurement Information

The Colosseum and the Town Hall are both Grade II Listed and are externally joined as one building. Morgan Sindall has been previously appointed across the Town Hall site and its related (and physically joined) site since early 2022, is familiar with the historic drawings, designs and the challenges of operating across the two operational sites. Subsequently, the appointment of a different Framework Contractor would cause significant inconvenience and duplication of costs. Further, together the two joined buildings are intended to form a cultural centre of excellence for Watford, which is regarded as another objective criterion. The Council can demonstrate that the direct award is the most economically advantageous possible prior to commencing a direct appointment and represents best value.
