The tender is classified under the CPV code for "Building internal fittings" and is part of a project valued at approximately £125,000, with a minimum value of £100,000. The tender is currently in the active phase with submissions due by 11th September 2018. Work is anticipated to start in early 2019, pending grant funding approvals by the end of 2018. This project presents an excellent opportunity for construction and specialty trades, particularly those engaged in carpentry, joinery, and plumbing, to expand their portfolio with a unique heritage project. Businesses that can deliver interior fittings, electrical wiring, and other building repair services would be particularly well-suited to submit tenders. Given the specific nature of this work, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as they may provide the specialised skills required for the renovation of this historic building. ## Notice This is a project to convert a Non-Conformist Chapel at Fairmile Cemetery (RG9 6AA) into a Columbarium. Henley on Thames Town Council is offering a unique opportunity to convert the inside of its Victorian Chapel at the Fairmile Cemetery into a Columbarium for the above ground burial of ashes. This will be the first such facility to be offered in the area, and will complement the burial services already offered at the Fairmile Cemetery, whilst providing an appropriate long term viable use for this lovely Grade II listed building which is one part of a pair of Grade II Listed Chapels forming the centre piece of the Victorian cemetery landscape which remains largely unaltered since its conception. The internal decoration of the Chapel would consist of around 400 timber niches as indicated in the attached details. Other works required include extending utilities to the building from nearby supplies (water/electricity) and an internet line to allow for a door control system. There will also be minor plasterwork and tiled flooring repairs as indicated in the Schedule of Works. Pre-planning advice has indicated that planning permission will not be required for the internal conversion, and listed building consent has been applied for with a Heritage Appraisal and Impact Assessment having been submitted to South Oxfordshire District Council. Works would commence in early 2019 pending grant funding from the Chiltern Leader Programme for Rural Development which will be advised by the end of 2018. Please submit your tender to Liz Jones (Responsible Financial Officer) as indicated on the Form of Tender ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/221ff8f5-9709-4dae-85f8-91ce9c035234 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 11 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2019 - 30 Apr 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £125,000 | | 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 | HENLEY TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | HENLEY-ON-THAMES | | Post town | Reading | | Postcode | RG9 2AQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ14 Oxfordshire CC | | Local authority | South Oxfordshire | | Electoral ward | Henley-on-Thames | | Westminster constituency | Henley and Thame | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 44115800 - Building internal fittings - 45262600 - Miscellaneous special-trade construction work - 45311100 - Electrical wiring work - 45311200 - Electrical fitting work - 45312200 - Burglar-alarm system installation work - 45332200 - Water plumbing work - 45332300 - Drain-laying work - 45410000 - Plastering work - 45421000 - Joinery work - 45422000 - Carpentry installation work - 45431100 - Floor-tiling work - 45450000 - Other building completion work ## Release History - 17 Aug 2018 at 10:37 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/221ff8f5-9709-4dae-85f8-91ce9c035234 - 14 Aug 2018 at 13:52 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/221ff8f5-9709-4dae-85f8-91ce9c035234 - 7 Aug 2018 at 11:14 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/221ff8f5-9709-4dae-85f8-91ce9c035234 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/221ff8f5-9709-4dae-85f8-91ce9c035234 17th August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8470b9ac-31cd-4191-ae3b-9a24c8275963 Form of Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c416775a-6a8e-4e85-af0f-11e8f03d4c04 Schedule of Works - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cd6f13f2-b348-4951-a0b9-38bb699bb2b6 Detailed specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/34222933-c861-4800-9748-c0d0b1037416 Map of Cemetery - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/724dd67f-4ee1-4033-bf8b-6d65dbcbacc4 Advice on planning consent - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/17f57568-2f56-4ed8-beb1-52bb263ff4e4 685-L01 electricity ## Notice URLs - http://www.henleytowncouncil.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
