Ive had this orange p7 frame sitting lonely for too long. Its time to build it up, trouble is, I'm an absolute beginner at all this and getting very confused as to what parts I need that will fit the bike. Originally I wanted to make it a single speed, but from what I've worked out this wouldn't be possible with this frame. Any guidance as to what the correct parts are would be brilliant.

Completely possible to singlespeed with that frame.
You simply need a chain tensioner: https://www.bikemonger.co.uk/chain-tensioners-209-c.asp
I like the Gusset Bachelor, but other types work well too.
You will need a chainset (with matching bottom bracket), singlespeed cog and spacer set, ideally a narrow-wide chainring (try Superstar Components),
