In plain English
Harborough District Council wants a builder to refurbish Wadkins Pavilion, the home of Houghton and Thurnby Cricket Club, near Leicester. The work covers a new roof, concrete and drainage repairs, upgraded changing rooms and showers, a new accessible toilet, new windows and internal redecoration. The estimated value is £495,000.
What the buyer wants
• Attend a mandatory supervised site visit on 2 or 9 November 2026, after registering in advance as set out in Section 7.2 of Document 1. Bids from firms that did not attend will be rejected without evaluation. • Price and deliver the full refurbishment scope, including roofing, concrete repairs, drainage, plumbing and sanitary works, windows, and fit-out and redecoration. • Allow for possible changes to the mechanical and electrical details in the function room, which may be confirmed later in the tender period through an addendum.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Missing the mandatory site visit on 2 or 9 November 2026 will get a bid thrown out before it is scored, and a small firm without the capacity, insurance or track record for a £495,000 build would also struggle to pass.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
