- Introduction
Stratton St Margaret Parish Council invites suitably qualified and experienced contractors to submit tenders for the redevelopment and refurbishment of the toilet facilities at Meadowcroft Community Centre.
The aim of this project is to modernise the existing facilities, improve accessibility, increase durability and ease of maintenance, and provide a welcoming environment for community centre users.
The Council is seeking a contractor capable of delivering high-quality workmanship, effective project management, and minimal disruption to the operation of the community centre.
A key requirement of this project is that public toilet provision must remain operational throughout the duration of the works to ensure the community centre can continue operating safely and effectively. Tenderers should clearly set out how they intend to phase the works and maintain toilet access during the project.
- Background
Meadowcroft Community Centre is a well-used community facility serving residents of Stratton St Margaret and surrounding areas. The building hosts a wide range of activities including community events, meetings, youth provision, fitness classes, and private hire functions.
The existing toilet facilities are now in need of redevelopment due to age, wear and tear, accessibility improvements, and the need to provide modern, efficient, and user-friendly amenities.
- Project Overview
The works will include the full redevelopment of the existing toilet facilities located within Meadowcroft Community Centre.
The current layout consists of separate male and female toilet facilities. The proposed redevelopment will reconfigure the area into a modern unisex toilet arrangement consisting of:
| • | 4 individual unisex toilet cubicles |
| • | 1 accessible disabled toilet |
| • | 1 dedicated baby changing area |
In addition to the toilet redevelopment, the footprint of the nearly existing women's toilet area will be converted into a small dance studio/multi-use activity space incorporating floor-to-ceiling mirrors.
The Council has drawings available showing both the existing building layout and the proposed new layout, which will be provided as part of the tender documentation.
The successful contractor will be expected to provide all labour, materials, equipment, supervision, and associated works necessary to complete the project.
The Council anticipates the project will include, but not necessarily be limited to:
| • | Strip out and disposal of existing fixtures and fittings |
| • | Internal alterations to accommodate the new layout |
