UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Calne Town Council is seeking building contractors to repair the former Fire and Ambulance Station on Patford Street, Calne. The historic building has transferred from Wiltshire Council and needs urgent work to preserve its historic fabric, make it watertight and prevent further deterioration while its future use is considered. Listed building consent has been granted for the works needed to make the building safe and watertight. The requirement is for building construction and specialist building and roof works, including repairs to the building envelope and associated construction work. The work will be delivered at the former station in Calne, Wiltshire. This is a single building works requirement, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: Calne Town Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically by email to tendersubmission@calne.gov.uk. Enquiries had to be submitted by 9 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 16 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated total value is £108,000 gross, including the single lot. Evaluation is based on price at 50%, quality at 20%, environmental considerations at 15%, and sustainability and ethics at 15%. Quality covers expected longevity of equipment and materials and the defects liability period; environmental assessment includes measures to protect bats.

This opportunity suits a suitably qualified and experienced building contractor able to undertake urgent repairs to a historic, listed building and deliver works that make it watertight and safe. Relevant capability includes building construction, roof repairs and other specialist trade work, together with the ability to work within listed building consent requirements and protect historic fabric. Contractors should be able to demonstrate durable materials or equipment and offer an appropriate defects liability period. Environmental competence is important, particularly practical measures for protecting bats during the works. The evaluation also rewards sustainable procurement and ethical procurement, so bidders should be able to explain responsible sourcing and delivery practices. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and calls for delivery of a defined building repair project.
