Kettering benefits from having a cluster of heritage assets located within the town centre's Cultural Quarter- Alfred East Art Gallery, Library and Manor House Museum (GLaM). A feasibility study conducted in 2019 identified options to significantly improve and transform the physical assets within GLaM.

Relevant works to be costed include architectural, associated services and surveys as detailed in the pricing schedule. In addition to enable us the option to progress to RIBA stage 4 Technical Design*, we are also seeking costings for relevant works related to this stage. * These works are in addition to contract value stated above and need to be costed separately as they will only be progressed once additional funding has been identified Additional information: This project is time critical and therefore if you genuinely cannot meet the Councils procurement key timescales and deadlines then please do not submit a bid.
