This tender focused on the architectural design services industry, specifically for the repair and restoration of the medieval tithe barn at Torre Abbey, a Grade 1 listed building. The tender utilised an open procurement method and occurred during the award stage with activities dated as most recent on 2nd May 2025. The contract period is scheduled from 17th March 2025 to 17th May 2028, with the overall project value at £200,000, although the awarded amount was £174,165. The procurement sought a heritage architect to enhance community access and re-landscape environmental spaces around Torre Abbey, with key tender activities already completed as of January 2025. This re-tender represents a substantial opportunity for firms specialising in heritage and architectural design to participate in a project that promises long-term engagement, evidenced by the multi-year contract. Businesses with expertise in historical conservation, landscape architecture, and community-focused development would find this opportunity particularly relevant as it offers avenues for showcasing innovation in conserving and developing heritage sites. Companies looking to expand their portfolio in public contracts in the South West of England can benefit significantly, provided they demonstrate experience with similar large-scale, culturally significant projects. ## Notice Please note this is a re-tender of an opportunity published recently that did not result in a successful outcome. Torre Abbey is in the process of applying for grant funding to repair and restore the medieval tithe barn and its immediate environs to enable its use year-round, improve community access and conserve and repair this grade 1 listed building as well as to re-landscape the former Pitch and Putt to include interpretation of the below ground archaeology and to unlock the largest free to access green space in Torquay. Torbay Council is therefore seeking a suitably qualified heritage architect to work on this project.
