Harrogate Borough Council ("The Council") ran a mini-competition under the YORbuild3 Major Works framework (as advertised by Contract Notice 2019/S 140-343606), setting out the Council's requirements to contractors on the framework in relation to the planned refurbishment of Harrogate Convention Centre. Only one contractor submitted a tender, BAM Construction Limited, and after relevant due diligence the Council has decided to award the contract to this tenderer. The refurbishment of the Convention Centre will include improving conferencing facilities, known as the "Studio 2 works", as well as providing a main works package including essential accessibility improvements and mechanical and engineering upgrades (together the "Works"). BAM Construction Limited will be appointed based on early contractor involvement in respect of the Works, as provided for by the NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract and as set out in the YORbuild major works framework terms. In accordance with the NEC3 terms set out in the mini-competition documents, at the conclusion of the early contractor involvement stage, the Council will confirm to the Contractor whether it wishes to proceed with the construction phase.
