Mill Arts & Events Centre Refurbishment and Compliance Works

Rochford District Council is seeking a qualified and experienced contractor to deliver refurbishment and compliance works at The Mill Arts & Events Centre in Rayleigh, Essex. The project scope includes installation of a new roof, replacement of windows and external doors, new heating and ventilation systems, and mechanical and electrical compliance upgrades. The centre is a multi-purpose public venue originally built in the 1970s that requires updates to building fabric and systems to meet current safety, statutory, and operational standards. The facility must remain operational throughout the contract period, requiring contractors to carefully plan, phase, and sequence all activities to minimise disruption. Suitable candidates should demonstrate experience in refurbishment projects, building compliance work, and managing operations in occupied facilities. This is a significant infrastructure investment to extend the building's operational life and enhance visitor safety.
