The project, titled "18739 Macduff Aquarium Extension and Upgrade," falls under the general public services industry category and involves significant building improvements including new café areas, an upgraded reception, and enhanced display spaces. The procurement stage is currently at the tender phase, with an end date for submissions set for 20th September 2024 at 12:00. The total estimated contract value is £9,000,000, and the procurement process is being conducted through an open procedure allowing for electronic submissions. This tender offers substantial business opportunities, particularly for construction companies specializing in large-scale works and building upgrades. Firms with expertise in developing public facilities, managing complex renovations, and integrating advanced systems like ventilation and photovoltaic panels would be well-suited to compete. Moreover, businesses capable of delivering high-quality building expansions and implementing community benefit projects stand to benefit greatly from this contract, supporting their growth and market presence in the public infrastructure sector. ## Notice The Works include the construction of one single storey and one two storey extension to the existing Macduff Marine Aquarium to provide an additional cafe, improved reception, shop, staff, plant and workshop areas and larger display areas. Works in the existing marine life display areas are largely restricted to decoration and heating upgrades. Alterations to the marine life support systems are minimal. A new ventilation layout is proposed with two external plant installations. Much of the front facade is to be removed and replaced to allow a larger building footprint. This also requires roof extensions and steel frame supports. The first floor cafe features large glazing panels. PV panels are to be installed on two roof areas. Parking alterations and landscaping improvements are included. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Works include the construction of one single storey and one two storey extension to the existing Macduff Marine Aquarium to provide an additional cafe, improved reception, shop, staff, plant and workshop areas and larger display areas.
