Summary of the contracting process

Aylsham Town Council is seeking building contractors to carry out extensive repairs to the boundary walls of the churchyard at St Michael’s Church in Aylsham, Norfolk. Parts of the wall are in very poor condition and at risk of structural failure; temporary shoring is preventing a complete collapse in one area. The work is classified as building construction (CPV 45210000). The tender includes a site plan, details of the south wall, a schedule of works and separate conservation work sections, which set out the proposed scope. The stated delivery location is Aylsham, although the tender data also includes broad UK regional delivery areas.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. This is a single-lot procurement, with a stated value of £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 1 February to 1 April 2027, with provision for extension to 1 June 2027 if bad weather or other mitigating circumstances arise. Questions were due by 17 November 2026 at 12:00, and bids by 19 November 2026 at 12:00. Bids had to be submitted in a sealed tender document to Aylsham Town Hall; electronic submission was not permitted. The council says its award decision will consider value for money, experience of work on heritage buildings, and social and environmental factors.

This opportunity is suited to building contractors able to undertake substantial repairs to an historic churchyard boundary wall. Relevant experience of work on heritage buildings is explicitly part of the award assessment, so firms with a demonstrable conservation track record are well placed to compete. The included conservation work sections and south wall details indicate that bidders should be prepared to work to a defined conservation specification as well as address structural condition. The council will also consider social and environmental factors alongside value for money, making evidence of responsible delivery relevant to the bid. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so the requirement is not reserved to larger suppliers. Contractors should be able to deliver the works within the stated contract programme and accommodate a possible weather-related extension.»} of the final object is malformed? Need check closing JSON.
