What is being bought

Published requirement description

The refurbishment of the public lavatories at The Boathouse Cafe. The primary objective is to change the access to the public lavatories from an external doorway (into the building) to an internal doorway located within the cafe area.

o Other associated equipment,

  • Reinstatement of existing retained circuits.

Mechanical works include the strip-out of existing mechanical services and the installation of new heating, ventilation and water services serving refurbished Ladies, Gents and Accessible WCs.

This will allow the continued use of the WC facility, whilst bringing it to current standards, improving utilisation, security and operational management.
