Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Somerset Council seeks a Heritage Construction Partner and Contractor for structural and fabric repair works at the Toneworks site in Wellington, Somerset. This open procedure is situated in the construction industry category under 'works', with the procurement having commenced in the planning stage. The awarded contract, worth £9,190,000, will run from 21st July 2026 to 31st March 2028. Key recent updates and adjustments have been made to the contract value and duration due to additional necessary works. Corbel Conservation Ltd, a large-scale supplier, has been actively awarded the contract following these amendments.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for firms experienced in conservation and heritage construction. The tender is well-suited for companies with extensive experience in structural and roofing repairs in complex heritage contexts. High engagement with Somerset Council and collaboration during pre-construction phases offers a platform for firms to showcase their innovative construction methodologies and gain recognition. The open book policy during the design and planning phases further encourages transparent collaboration, making this an ideal opportunity for specialist contractors to advance their industry standing.
