Type of Notice: Funding-Dependent Procurement
The Authority is seeking competitive tenders to support an application for external grant funding.
At the time of publication, funding for the project has not been approved and no commitment to proceed with the project has been made.
Tender submissions will be used to inform and support the Authority's funding application. A decision on the funding application is anticipated in December 2026.
The Authority anticipates that, should funding be approved, contract award would take place during Q1 2027.
The goal of this project is to replace the previous changing rooms at Primrose Hill Playing Fields with a small community hall that would provide a local meeting place for residents of the Primrose Hill community.
The Council has submitted a planning application (26/0805/FUL) for this project. This project entails construction of a new community hall including full internal fit-out and associated external works. Works include construction of the building, accessibility ramps, formation and paving of a car park, provision of disabled parking bays, installation of solar-powered external lighting, drainage, landscaping and all associated works necessary for completion of the project.
