Malmesbury Town Hall Kitchen Refurbishment – Invitation to Tender
The fixtures and fittings in the main kitchen of Malmesbury Town Hall were installed during a major re-development of the building in 2007. Although some items are still in good working order, the worktops, shelves, and cupboards are generally in a poor condition and in need of replacement.
It has therefore been decided that a refurbishment of the kitchen is necessary, and a working group has been established to consult with users of the kitchen and draw up plans for the work. The primary objective of the refurbishment is to provide a professional standard of kitchen that will cater for a wide variety of events ranging from simple tea and coffee afternoons to full evening meals for up to 140 covers.
This Invitation to Tender (ITT) provides the outline set of requirements developed by the working group for suppliers to consider in developing a proposal for the kitchen refurbishment. The requirements should be taken as a guideline only, and suppliers are encouraged use their experience and expertise to propose improvements where possible. Suppliers are also invited to visit the Town Hall to survey the kitchen and discuss the requirements with Town Hall staff.
The requirements are based on a kitchen workflow model, which is described a series of sketches showing a possible layout of the refurbished kitchen. Additional notes and requirements are also provided.
