The procurement, classified under the construction industry (CPV code: 45000000), has reached the award stage, with the contract being active since 16th October 2025 and set to conclude by 31st March 2027. This open procedure tender, with a total value of £494,910, was funded by the Museum Estate and Development Fund (MEND) and was open to both SMEs and VCSEs. The award was officially published on 14th January 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in heritage conservation and restoration projects. Companies that are small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as those operating as voluntary, community, or social enterprises (VCSEs) were considered suitable to compete. The awarded contract was granted to Ackroyd Electrical Services Ltd, a local SME based in Nottinghamshire, highlighting the potential for regionally-based firms to engage in high-value, grant-funded public restoration projects. Such opportunities can facilitate business growth by providing exposure to government funding channels and increasing expertise in managing historically significant sites. ## Notice The Authority would like to appoint a Main Contractor to deliver a programme of repairs and restoration to return Green's Mill to working condition. Green's Mill is a Grade 2 listed heritage site built by Mr Green in 1807. His son, George Green, a celebrated mathematician inherited the Mill but after his death in 1841 it fell rapidly into disrepair. Acquired by Nottingham City Council in 1985 it was restored as a working Windmill along with construction of new buildings to form a Science Centre where visitors can discover the importance of Green's Theorem. Due to decay in the cap frame and issues with deterioration, the sails were removed in 2022. The cap has difficulty turning due to various alignment issues, including the fantail pinion at the curb popping out of gear; it has had such problems for some time. The freehold is held by Nottingham City Council and the site is operated (including public facing) by Green's Mill Trust on behalf of Nottingham City Council. The project is grant funded by the Museum Estate and Development Fund [MEND] which is managed by Arts Council England. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/49857fb9-0806-417e-b477-22feb9dd903b | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jan 2026 | | Submission deadline | 21 Jul 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 15 Oct 2025 | | Contract period | 20 Oct 2025 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £494,910 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £494,910 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG2 3NG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF14 Nottingham | | Local authority | Nottingham | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham East | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ACKROYD ELECTRICAL SERVICES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 14 Jan 2026 at 15:36 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/49857fb9-0806-417e-b477-22feb9dd903b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/49857fb9-0806-417e-b477-22feb9dd903b 14th January 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=31c6b34e-743c-f011-8136-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
