Opportunity Overview
Nexus is undertaking Pre Market market engagement for improvement of existing facilities at South Gosforth Control Centre for staff to create a fit for purpose working environment.
The aim of the project is to improve the existing facilities at South Gosforth Control Centre for staff to create a fit for purpose working environment. The building was constructed in 1980 and has undergone limited refurbishment in 2014 and 2021/22.

The Control Centre must remain operational 24/7 during the project.
We are looking for a contractor to undertake the design and build contract for the refurbishment of the Control Centre.
