In plain English
Bolton Council is looking for a contractor to design and build a five-lane indoor cricket dome at a school, along with landscaping and site work. The total project is worth around £1.5 million. They're asking for bids covering both the design phase (RIBA Stages 1-3) and the build phase (RIBA Stages 4-6), but will initially only appoint someone for the design work.
What the buyer wants
• Design a five-lane recreational cricket dome following the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) Covered Outdoor Cricket Facilities Design Guide • Submit separate prices for the design phase (RIBA Stages 1-3: feasibility, concept, developed design) and the build phase (RIBA Stages 4-6: technical design, build, handover) • Provide landscaping and associated site works around the facility at Ladybridge High School
