What is being bought

Published requirement description

Denbighshire Libraries offer a public library service to the local community via 8 branches, 7 of which are also Council One Stop Shops.

The Council wishes to appoint a single contractor to internally refurbish Corwen Library and One Stop Shop which will include a design proposal, sourcing and installation of furnishings/fittings. The aim of the project is to refurbish Corwen Library and One Stop Shop and create a modern, welcoming, flexible space, with a designated Children’s area.

Some internal works outside this procurement exercise which are required to enable this project to happen may overlap slightly so the successful supplier should be able to overcome this.

The Council are aiming to have a launch of the newly refurbished library by early January 2026.

This tender will be evaluated on the basis of 70% Quality and 30% Price.
