Summary of the contracting process

Penzance Town Council is procuring roof repair and replacement works at Penlee House Gallery and Museum in Penzance. The work addresses areas identified by a 2024 roof survey as causing water ingress, with priority repairs set out in the roof works specification and accompanying plans. The requirement covers building and specialist trade work associated with repairing or replacing roof elements, including site preparation and building completion activities. Contractors will need to define the limits of their work and the products proposed. The tender materials include roof and site plans, roof detail drawings, a roof works specification and an asbestos survey report. This is a works contract for delivery at the museum in Penzance.

The buyer has invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. This tender comprises one lot. Enquiries had to be submitted by 29 July 2026 at 17:00, and quotations had to be returned by 11 August 2026 at 17:00 to the stated tender email address; electronic submission was not allowed. The estimated value is £105,427 excluding VAT, or £126,512.40 including VAT. The planned contract period is 24 August to 30 October 2026, with a possible extension up to 18 December 2026 depending on contractor availability and weather. Evaluation is based on cost at 40%, the proposed method of meeting the requirements at 30%, and evidence of similar work at 30%.

This opportunity suits a qualified roofing or building contractor able to repair and replace roof elements on an existing public building. Bidders must provide a comprehensive method statement covering all specified work, details of products, defined work limits, insurance information and a completed cost breakdown using the price schedule. The council also requires evidence of having carried out similar work, so relevant experience on comparable roofing or building projects will be important. The requirement is reserved for UK small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Suppliers should be able to plan and deliver work within the specified programme while managing conditions that may affect progress, including weather and the possible presence of asbestos identified in the survey materials.
