Located at Regent Street, Wrexham, the project falls within the works category, classified under CPV code 45210000.

The appointment involves substantial subcontracting works including stone repairs, roofing, glazing, and structural tasks, among others, with a high subcontracting percentage. Such a project is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises with expertise in heritage constructions. Additionally, businesses with capabilities in electronic submissions and e-procurement platforms like eTenderWales are well-positioned to engage.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Appointment of a principle building contractor for the Base Build Construction Works (Shell & Core) for the refurbishment of the Grade II Listed Wrexham County Borough Museum & Archives building (County Buildings, Regent Street, Wrexham) as part of the Museum of Two Halves (MoTH) project. The Museum of Two Halves will incorporate a new National Football Museum for Wales (Amgueddfa Bel-droed Cymru) and refreshed Wrexham Museum (Amgueddfa Wrecsam). This procurement process had two stages. First there was a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire Stage (PQQ) (pqq_33477), following which a shortlist of the 6 highest scoring bidders were progressed to Invitation to Tender Stage (ITT) (itt_107461). The procurement process was hosted on the eTenderWales (Bravo Solutions) online e-sourcing portal (https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/). This contract modification is to notify an increase in the contract price from GBP 4,174,397.04 to GBP 5,196,074.46 (all figures excluding VAT). This is to incorporate a number of unanticipated client scheme amends for additional works that could not have been foreseen and a resulting extended build programme. Many of these amends arose during the works due to the challenging nature of the old historic building. Changing contractor in the middle of the works was unviable due to economic (switching would cause significant inconvenience and duplication of costs) and technical reasons (requirements to meet grant funder timescales). The changes do not alter the overall nature of the contract. The End of Defects Liability Period has been extended to 9th March 2027.
