Details

Vale of White Horse District Council is seeking to appoint an experienced main contractor to carry out a Gym Extension and Wet Side Changing Facilities Refurbishment at the Wantage Leisure Centre. The wet side changing facilities at the centre have become outdated and require a total refurbishment to ensure the facilities maintain a high quality standard, meet current regulations, and adhere to Sport England's Accessible and Inclusive Sports Facilities directives. The leisure centre is always busy and is not only used by the members and public, but also the adjacent school, King Alfreds. It is therefore essential that the continuing well-being of all site users, the school pupils (safeguarding), and staff, is prioritised during the lifetime of this project, particularly during the construction phase. The contractor must make every effort whilst preparing their submission to always negate or reduce risks to an acceptable level for all site users, and this must be evidenced within the project's construction phase health and safety plan (CPHSP), risk assessments, and method statements (RAMS). Please refer to full suite of tender documents for further details.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this sports, recreation & events opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
