Tender: Fire Repair and Refurbishment of Accommodation at Barrow Centre, Mount Edgcumbe

About

Cornwall Council is seeking a supplier for the fire repair and refurbishment of the accommodation block at the Mount Edgcumbe Barrow Centre following fire damage on 04 February 2025. The project aims to re-establish commercial operations of the fire-damaged parts of the Barrow Centre while respecting the site's surroundings, heritage and constraints. The Barrow Centre comprises the historic service yard and associated buildings used as a visitors centre, with a central U-shaped stable block of two- and three-storey mixed-use accommodation containing a café, shops, workers' flats and two holiday lets. The fire-damaged area is the split-level northern wing, which contains two holiday cottages (Yew Tree Cottage and Horseshoe Cottage) and two workers' flats (numbers 3 and 6), which together provided eight bedrooms. Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park is jointly owned by Cornwall Council and Plymouth City Council; Plymouth City Council are the insurance policyholders and beneficiaries, and an agreement states that Cornwall Council will progress the refurbishment works.
