Shaftesbury Town Council is inviting engagement from contractors interested in constructing the new Mampitts Community Hub.

The council has initiated a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise for the hub’s construction at Mampitts Green, targeting regional contractors, SMEs and supply chain partners ahead of a formal tender in March.

The project will see the development of a new one-and-a-half storey community hub, incorporating utilities, external works and public realm improvements.

Designed as a flexible, multi-use facility, the hub will feature a café and offer space for community groups, wellbeing activities, small events, family programmes and local services.

The council has emphasised the project's suitability for regional firms, highlighting benefits like a simple construction process, coordinated design and a clear 12-month construction window.

The contract will be secured through an Open Procedure, with a JCT Intermediate Contract covering specific design elements.

Shaftesbury Town Council has invited interested parties to register by emailing confidential@shaftesbury-tc.gov.uk with their company name and contact details.

Tender information will be available on Find a Tender and the council’s website from March.

The council confirms that the contract's start date will fall on June 29, with a planned completion set for June 2027.
