This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The North East Scotland Preservation Trust is undertaking a public procurement process for the restoration of the Elyza Fraser Mausoleum, located in Aberdeenshire. This project is classified under the building preservation industry and is currently in the award stage, with the work having been successfully contracted to David Chouman Architect Ltd. The tender, initiated on 10th May 2021, is set to conclude on 3rd June 2021, and is expected to involve substantial repair efforts, estimated at around £140,000, with support from Historic Environment Scotland and a National Lottery Heritage Fund application underway.

This opportunity presents significant business growth potential, particularly for SMEs in the architectural and conservation sectors. Companies with expertise in heritage preservation, especially those with conservation accreditation for architects, are especially well-suited to compete. The project may lead to additional work in environmental protection and local authority collaborations, as it seeks to address the urgent needs of a historically significant structure while revitalising community interest and involvement.

Notice Title

Restoration of the Elyza Fraser Mausoleum

Notice Description

The NESPT wishes to commission a Conservation Accredited Architect and design team to develop and manage a project to restore the category A listed Mausoleum

Lot Information

Lot 1

This project concerns the repair of the Elyza Fraser Mausoleum which is situated in Old Cluny Kirkyard in Aberdeenshire. The Mausoleum is category A listed and is on the Buildings at Risk Register. The NESPT is the owner of the building. The project is being led by the NESPT in partnership with the Friends of the Elyza Fraser Mausoleum, an active and well supported community group. Concerns about the condition of the Mausoleum emerged in 2013 and an informal group including the National Trust for Scotland, the NESPT, Aberdeen University and concerned local residents was established to find a way of conserving the building. Determining ownership was an early, vital step. In 2014 the NESPT commissioned Genealogy Scotland to search for any surviving members of the Fraser family. The conclusion was that there were no living relatives and consequently the mausoleum had no owner. For the next four years the NESPT petitioned the Registrars of Scotland for ownership of the mausoleum. This was finally successful in 2018, but only after the condition of the building had deteriorated significantly. The building has been inspected and monitored by a Design Team led by David Chouman, Conservation Accredited Architect, since 2013. The building has been letting in water for many years and the structure is saturated. Many of the internal memorials are badly affected by damp. A comprehensive programme of repairs is proposed, including re-pointing in lime mortar, repairs to the glazed oculus and domed roof, removal of vegetation, repairs to the doors, specialist repair and conservation of the memorials and the installation of interpretation. It is proposed to cover the building for at least six months to give it a chance to dry out. The estimated cost of the capital work is around 140,000 GBP(excluding fees and VAT). Financial support has been indicated by Historic Environment Scotland and an application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund is in preparation.

The Mausoleum is category A listed and is on the Buildings at Risk Register. The NESPT is the owner of the building. The project is being led by the NESPT in partnership with the Friends of the Elyza Fraser Mausoleum, an active and well supported community group. Concerns about the condition of the Mausoleum emerged in 2013 and an informal group including the National Trust for Scotland, the NESPT, Aberdeen University and concerned local residents was established to find a way of conserving the building. Determining ownership was an early, vital step. In 2014 the NESPT commissioned Genealogy Scotland to search for any surviving members of the Fraser family. The conclusion was that there were no living relatives and consequently the mausoleum had no owner. For the next four years the NESPT petitioned the Registrars of Scotland for ownership of the mausoleum. This was finally successful in 2018, but only after the condition of the building had deteriorated significantly. The building has been inspected and monitored by a Design Team led by David Chouman, Conservation Accredited Architect, since 2013. The building has been letting in water for many years and the structure is saturated. Many of the internal memorials are badly affected by damp. A comprehensive programme of repairs is proposed, including re-pointing in lime mortar, repairs to the glazed oculus and domed roof, removal of vegetation, repairs to the doors, specialist repair and conservation of the memorials and the installation of interpretation. It is proposed to cover the building for at least six months to give it a chance to dry out. The estimated cost of the capital work is around 140,000 GBP(excluding fees and VAT). Financial support has been indicated by Historic Environment Scotland and an application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund is in preparation.",
