The procurement title highlights essential works to address the deterioration of this Grade I listed Elizabethan manor house. This tender is particularly focused on making the building wind and watertight and stabilising key historic elements, ensuring its continued use as a public museum and visitor attraction. Interested parties should declare their interest by 13:00 on 20th April 2026 for the upcoming market engagement exercise, which provides an opportunity to provide feedback. The estimated contract value is between £1,500,000 and £1,800,000 GBP, with the procurement categorised under 'works' in the building construction sector.
