This listed building, with Grade 2 status, requires external restoration to address wear and tear, particularly on the southern elevation. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with a deadline for tender submissions set for 2 April 2025. The work is scheduled to start on 9 April 2025 and must be completed by 30 September 2025. The project falls under the industry category of painting work, with the specific CPV classification codes: 45442100 for painting work and 45442121 for painting work of structures. Located at Market Place, Ripon, HG4 1DD, the project is poised for execution within a conducive summer/autumn timeline to accommodate the optimal conditions required for exterior paintwork. This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for reputable small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in external painting and historical building restoration. Ideal candidates are those that can provide certified materials and a robust method statement for the in-situ painting process, ensuring high standards and value for money. Given the project's focus on meticulous restoration of a significant heritage structure, businesses experienced in similar historical project work would be well-suited to compete for this tender, making their mark in heritage conservation while expanding their portfolio. ## Notice 1. Background The Cabmen's Shelter currently rests in the East Corner of the Market Place Ripon. It is owned by Ripon City Council following donation from the Civic Society. The Listed Building number is 1393142. It is a Grade 2 Listed Building. The reasons it is listed, are as follows:- It has a highly decorative Edwardian design dating from 1911. It is a nationally rare and well-preserved example of a cabmen's shelter, an important reminder of the importance of horse-drawn transport in the early C20, supplied by the well-known firm of Boulton and Paul of Norwich. The structure of the Shelter remains in good order after its full restoration in 2019, however general wear & tear and its exposure to the elements are evident on some of the external paintwork. This is most noticeable on the Southern Elevation where the entrance is located and more generally around the lower boards of the Shelter. 2. Our requirements Restoration of exterior paintwork specification: External paintwork to be rubbed down, remove all loose and flaking paint. Repair work to minor chips or gouges on the external structure. (see example in 'West Elevation Left Hand Side Damage' image in the Appendix 1) If required, reseal the horizontal joint between the vertical timber frame and the sill with an oil-based mastic to prevent water penetration. Prime all bare areas, apply one undercoat and coat gloss oil paint to match the existing colours. The work is to be completed with Cabman Shelter in-situ. The work is to be completed during summer/Autumn 2025 season. We expect the tender to include: * Provision of all materials for exterior painting, using recognised and certified parts only * Method Statement for completion of works including process to be used for painting the Cabman Shelter in-situ. We are looking for a reputable and qualified company who can provide us with value for money. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b780361f-c5ac-4947-99b5-c1b6d07feafc | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 2 Apr 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Apr 2025 - 30 Sep 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RIPON CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | RIPON | | Post town | Harrogate | | Postcode | HG4 1DD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE22 North Yorkshire | | Local authority | North Yorkshire | | Electoral ward | Ripon Minster & Moorside | | Westminster constituency | Skipton and Ripon | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45442100 - Painting work - 45442121 - Painting work of structures - 45442180 - Repainting work ## Release History - 26 Feb 2025 at 10:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b780361f-c5ac-4947-99b5-c1b6d07feafc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b780361f-c5ac-4947-99b5-c1b6d07feafc 26th February 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3c124c6f-3722-42d8-8541-3e4cd132b883 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
