## Summary

The public procurement process involved is the award of the contract for "Furness Abbey: Conservation Repairs 2020-2021," concerning works aimed at the phased conservation of significant areas of Furness Abbey, including the Presbytery, West Tower, East Range, and Infirmary. The contract was managed by English Heritage-Estates, a prominent UK organisation responsible for the preservation of historic sites. The procurement method was an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 13th February 2020. The contract, valued at £641,886.88, is set to run from 1st April 2020 to 30th April 2021. The project falls under the category of historical monument or memorial construction work, making it essential for the maintenance of architectural heritage.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses focusing on heritage conservation and restoration work, particularly those that specialise in historical structures and stonework. Companies that engage in architectural repair and conservation, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with a strong capability in historical or archaeological restoration, would be well-positioned to compete. The project highlights the demand for skilled craftsmanship and expertise in sensitive restorations, which can encourage contractors in these sectors to expand their portfolio and secure future contracts with similar requirements.

## Notice
