Maidstone Borough Council are currently seeking engagement and information from contractors in relation to 6 questions regarding a potential refurbishment of Maidstone House and The Link, located in Maidstone Town Centre above The Mall shopping centre.
The proposed works include the refurbishment of Maidstone House and The Link buildings, to primarily replace the interconnected M&E Systems, removing the reliance on gas fired boilers and chillers with a new Electric VRF system along with upgrades to the external wall fabric to improve energy efficiency.
The buildings are currently occupied by Maidstone Borough Council, along with a number of external tenants, managed via MBC. Maidstone House is a high-rise office with 7 floors and a parapet walled flat roof with a maximum occupancy capacity of 825 persons. The building is of 1970’s construction, with a classic red brick slip facade and is built on top of the Mall Shopping Centre. Maidstone House is constructed in direct connection with the structural piers of the structure below it. The Link has 3 floors and a flat roof with a maximum occupancy capacity of 381 persons. The building is of 2008 construction clad in zinc rainscreen and is built on top of the Mall Shopping Centre. The building wraps around a gym and other retail units with street level access via escalator, lift or stairs within a glass walled atrium. The Link also directly links to Maidstone House, at The Mall rooftop level via a glass walled bridge, with services running under the walkway. The Link’s MEP is served from direct connection with heating and cooling plant and connections to services at Maidstone House but has its own electrical plant room.
In 2019 Maidstone Borough Council declared a climate emergency and pledged to achieve as close to carbon neutral as possible by 2030. MBC have set a carbon baseline and measures Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions each year, with the aim to incrementally reduce its own estate emissions as part of their Climate Change Action Plan. The refurbishment of Maidstone House and The Link project aims to directly support this through reducing existing building emissions and actively removing reliance on fossil fuels.
Both co-located buildings have their own electrical substation and previous applications to the District Network operator- to increase power due to prospective decarbonisation works- in 2024- were approved by UKPN with no requirement to increase capacity.
This Supplier Engagement activity will prepare MBC for potentially going out to tender for a prospective contractor, for a Two Stage Design & Build contract, circa April 2026, with an aim to mobilise on site in September 2026.
