Summary of the contracting process

Canal & River Trust is seeking repair and refurbishment works at Ellesmere Yard, including several historic buildings, alongside construction of new facilities and improvements to the public realm. The required turnkey package covers roofing, joinery, internal fit-outs, landscaping, a new workshop and mechanical and electrical works. The procurement is for building works involving structures of historic or architectural interest (CPV 45212350). Delivery is at Ellesmere Yard, identified by postcode SY12 9AA.

The buyer invited offers through a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The submission deadline set was 16 October 2026 at 5pm. The contract period runs from 1 June 2027 to 30 May 2030. The estimated value is £3 million to £4 million. The procurement is presented as a single works package, with no lots described. The published information identifies the work required but does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This opportunity suits building contractors able to deliver a complete, coordinated package across heritage refurbishment, repair and new construction. Relevant capabilities include roofing, joinery, internal fit-outs, landscaping, workshop construction and mechanical and electrical installation, as well as managing extensive public realm improvements. The scope calls for experience working on several historic buildings while also delivering new facilities, so firms combining conservation-sensitive building work with broader construction and site delivery may be well placed.
