SDC-Renovation of One Evesham Place

This tender has been advertised previously as SDC-18956 'One Evesham Place'. No contract award was made because of the low number of submissions. The Council considered the lack of competition could prevent it from fulfilling its Best Value Duty and from entering into a contract on a most economically advantageous tender basis. The Council is re-advertising the procurement, in the hope that more tenders may be submitted. As a result of the previous tender process, changes have been made to the new tender documents to make the Council's requirements clearer.
