This project falls under the industry category of "Roof works and other special trade construction works" (CPV: 45260000) and is located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement is in the tender amendment stage with a budget of £3,600,000 GBP. Key dates include the tender period ending on 12th November 2024 at 13:00 UTC, the contract starting on 3rd February 2025, and ending on 2nd February 2026. This project involves replacing the roofs of Grade II listed Kettering Library and its attached Art Gallery, incorporating heritage considerations and complex scaffolding requirements. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialised in heritage roof restoration and construction due to the extensive requirements and high value of the contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, making this a suitable opportunity for skilled roofing contractors experienced in working with historical building materials like Collyweston stone slate. The open procedure allows all businesses to bid, providing a fair chance to compete for a prestigious and high-profile restoration project managed by North Northamptonshire Council. ## Notice North Northamptonshire Council (hereafter known as the Council) wishes to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced provider to replace the Grade II listed Kettering Library and Art Gallery roofs and associated works. Kettering Library roof is in parts over 120 years old. The library and attached Art Gallery are Grade II listed buildings and as the owner NNC has a duty to maintain and repair them. The library roof is made of Collyweston stone slate. A new condition survey of the roof has been obtained through heritage architects, which provides evidence that the roof needs to be completely replaced. The Collyweston stone needs to be replaced like for like, and given the nature of how it is constructed, it is recommended to be undertaken during dry conditions. This requires the library building to be made water tight through a tent canopy, which in turn necessitates a complex scaffold being erected and retained in place throughout the duration of the roof replacement works. The Art Gallery and flat roofs on the Library are all deteriorating and will be replaced as part of this project ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af41595d-f213-4d44-80df-f24d38da9c71 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 12 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Feb 2025 - 2 Feb 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,600,000 | | 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 | NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | KETTERING | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN16 8TL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF25 North Northamptonshire | | Local authority | North Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Northall | | Westminster constituency | Kettering | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45260000 - Roof works and other special trade construction works ## Release History - 11 Oct 2024 at 10:31 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af41595d-f213-4d44-80df-f24d38da9c71 - 11 Oct 2024 at 07:23 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af41595d-f213-4d44-80df-f24d38da9c71 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af41595d-f213-4d44-80df-f24d38da9c71 11th October 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
