Summary of the contracting process

Aylsham Town Council is seeking a contractor to repair the boundary walls around the churchyard of St Michael’s Church in Aylsham, Norfolk. The walls are in very poor condition and parts are at risk of structural failure; temporary shoring is currently preventing a collapse in one area. This is building and conservation work, with the scope set out in a schedule of works and separate conservation-work sections. Supporting material includes a site plan, details for the south wall and planning approval. Delivery is at the churchyard in Aylsham. The procurement is presented as one package of work, rather than separate lots.

The council invited tenders through a below-threshold open competition. The process reached the tender stage, with offers requested by post to the Town Clerk at Aylsham Town Hall; electronic submission is not permitted. The enquiry deadline was 17 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the tender deadline was 19 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The estimated value is £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). The planned contract period runs from 1 February to 1 April 2027, with a possible extension to 1 June 2027 if bad weather or other mitigating circumstances affect the work. The council will assess 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 historic churchyard walls, including conservation work on heritage buildings. Relevant experience with heritage structures is an explicit part of the assessment, alongside value for money and social and environmental factors, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate suitable past work and explain their approach to these wider considerations. The works are packaged as a single contract and are marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Contractors should review the conservation-work requirements, south-wall details, reduced schedule of works and planning approval conditions when judging whether their skills and capacity match the job. The documented scope concerns an existing wall in poor condition, including an area currently shored against collapse, rather than new-build construction.
