In plain English
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council is procuring a large regeneration contract in Carrickfergus, covering restoration and visitor works at Carrickfergus Castle and internal refurbishment of the Civic Centre, Courtyard and Town Hall. The works are expected to take about 18 months and have an estimated value of £9,800,000.
What the buyer wants
• Carry out restoration, conservation and repair works at Carrickfergus Castle, including removing modern additions, building a new visitor facilities building, and installing a new spiral staircase and passenger lift within the Keep. • Refurbish the Civic Centre, Courtyard and Town Hall, including expanding the museum, café and council offices, converting the car park into an events space, and upgrading the Jubilee Hall. • Deliver building services upgrades and hard and soft landscaping across the sites within about 18 months.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The £9.8 million value, the 18-month programme and the combined scope of heritage conservation work on a Monument in State Care and a B+ listed Town Hall, alongside multiple building services upgrades, would most likely rule out small businesses unless they can work as part of a larger group or joint venture.
