THE Bulawayo City Council (BCC) is set to refurbish some of its major community halls in the city inclusive of the Large City Hall and the iconic Stanley Community Hall.

Built in 1936 as a recreational centre, Stanley Hall and Stanley Square have been declared a Heritage Site by the Government but are still administered by the local authority.

According to a council tender document, BCC is mulling the refurbishment of City Hall, Mpopoma Community Hall, Stanley Community Hall, Macdonald Community Hall and Mabuthweni Community Hall.

The tender reportedly closed today (Thursday) with the local authority now starting the adjudication process.

“No faxed, e-mailed or late bids will be considered. City of Bulawayo is not obliged to accept the lowest bid, or any bid Tenders will not be considered unless they comply fully with all the requirements,” reads the tender document.
