Main Contractor Tender Launched for De La Warr Pavilion Transformation
Rother District Council are seeking to appoint a suitable qualified and experienced Main Contractor to deliver auditorium and foyer works at the iconic and Grade I listed De La Warr Pavilion as part of the transformation project, An Icon For Everyone.
This contract intends to undertake a comprehensive set of refurbishment activities to renovate the original auditorium, redesign the foyer spaces and improve visitor experience and accessibility, support organisational resilience and embed sustainability throughout the building from October 2026 to February 2028. The Pavilion is going to remain live and operational throughout this period in a limited capacity.
The appointed/shortlisted contractors need to meet stringent requirements and will be the best suited to carry out this complex conservation project. We have contacted suitable scale local businesses to ensure local engagement and the procurement process is open to those that meet required criteria through the council’s procurement website. We are ensuring that all tenderers can provide compelling evidence of their contribution to the local area through direct employment, sub-contractor relationships and supply chain. This means that money we spend with contractors through the project will be re-invested in Bexhill, Rother & East Sussex through jobs and trade.
