    Brief

    Thanet District Council is seeking an experienced contractor to refurbish and restore the Theatre Royal Margate, a Grade II* listed building originally constructed in 1787 and the second oldest theatre in the UK. The theatre closed to the public in 2022, and this contract aims to complete essential capital works to enable its reopening and enhance Margate's cultural offerings. The scope of work includes heritage-sensitive redecoration, specialist plasterwork restoration, installation of new stairs, toilets, and bars, construction of a new extension with lift access, HVAC upgrades to meet Part L building regulations (where feasible for a listed building), and fire and life safety upgrades to meet Part B regulations within listed building constraints. The contract is expected to start in November 2026 for an 11-month duration. Prospective suppliers must submit formal quotations via the Kent Business Portal, with clarification questions due by 14:00 on 18 August 2026 and completed tender submissions due by 14:00 on 28 August 2026. Evaluation will be based on criteria outlined in the Invitation to Tender document.
