Overview

Thanet District Council wishes to select and appoint a suitable supplier for the provision of the Refurbishment & Restoration of the Theatre Royal Margate and invites prospective bidders to submit a Tender to meet the Employer’s requirements. The Contract is specifically to enable essential refurbishment works to the Theatre Royal Margate to enable its reopening. The Theatre is the second oldest theatre in the UK, Grade II* listed and the original structure was built in 1787. It closed its doors to the public in 2022 and Thanet District Council is now looking for an experienced contractor to carry out the capital works. The reopening of the Theatre Royal is essential to maximising Margate’s arts offering to the community and feeds into Thanet District Council’s wider Town Plan. The scope of works will include careful heritage sensitive redecoration and specialist plasterwork, new stairs, toilets, bars and new extension with lift. Alongside HVAC upgrades to meet Part L (where feasible in a Listed Building), and fire and life safety upgrades to meet Part B within the parameters of a Listed Building. The Contract is anticipated to commence upon November 2026 for a duration of 11 months. Important Information: All procurement documents are attached to this notice and available for suppliers to download and complete according to instructions contained. The procurement process will be undertaken on the basis of formal quotations. Evaluation will be on the basis of criteria and methodology as set out in the Invitation to Tender document. Any clarifications or questions must be submitted via the Message area of the Kent Business Portal by no later than 14.00hrs on 18 August 2026. Completed tender documents must be submitted electronically via the Kent Business Portal by no later than 14.00hrs on 15 September 2026.
