What is being bought

Published requirement description

Drummond Community Centre is an important community facility serving residents across Grange Park and the wider Hedge End area. The proposed improvement works will enhance the building both internally and externally, ensuring it remains a welcoming, functional and well-maintained facility for the community for years to come.

The Drummond Community Centre was built in 1990; it is single storey with a brick base and aluminium pitched roof. The roof sky lights were replaced in 2022. It has a full height roof with beams. The main hall lights were replaced with LED in 2023.

We are seeking a principal contractor to carry out a sympathetic refurbishment to fit with the surrounding area and usage of the building.

  • Not divided into lots: The Town Council is seeking a principle contractor to manage the collective works.

What this means for your bid

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
