About

Blackpool Borough Council awarded a contract to McLaughlin and Harvey Ltd for the construction of a new Conference & Exhibition Centre and the refurbishment and remodelling of parts of the existing buildings at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, valued at £25,000,000.

The works to the existing buildings were required to be undertaken while the building remained occupied and operational.

Contractors had to demonstrate substantial experience with Grade II* listed, multi-functional buildings, and any sub-contractors appointed were required to demonstrate the same relevant experience.

Funding for all works was to be attained, with Blackpool Council having prepared and submitted bids for the Coastal Communities Fund and the Growth Deal, meeting all funding bid criteria, and the remaining finance to be funded by the Council.

Contract award was anticipated for April 2017, with start on site anticipated for 2 October 2017, subject to successful allocation of grant funding.
