This selective tender is currently in the planning stage, with a total estimated value of £900,000 and a minimum contract value of £853,000. The tender period will close on 14th August 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 15th October 2019 and run until 14th October 2020. The work primarily focuses on museum services and the preservation of historical sites, addressing significant structural repairs required to ensure the integrity and historical value of the buildings involved. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for construction and heritage conservation companies to expand their portfolios, particularly those with expertise in works involving Grade II listed buildings. Businesses specialising in roof repairs, damp-proofing, and mechanical and electrical installations would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this procurement process can facilitate business growth by providing a chance to work on historically significant structures while demonstrating competence in delivering essential preservation services within defined timelines and budgets. ## Notice The project works are defined as undertaking repairs to the range of historic buildings at Locomotion in Shildon. The purpose of the project is to address the repairs required to arrest their decline and to make them structurally sound, water and weather tight, whilst addressing any M&E services which have been previously damaged by water. There are seven historic buildings, all lying within the Shildon Conservation Area and the Stockton to Darlington Heritage Action Zone, namely: -Welcome Building -Soho House -Soho Cottages -Soho Shed -Goods Shed -Parcel Office -Black Boy Branch Buildings Soho House, the Soho Cottages, the Soho Shed and the Black Boy Branch Buildings are all Grade II listed buildings. The buildings are a fantastic asset to the site and add to the rich history of the area, which is highly significant in terms of connections with the Stockton to Darlington Railway, Timothy Hackworth and the development of the railway. Many of the defects relate to the roof and rainwater goods of the buildings being in a poor state of repair leading to prolonged periods of water ingress through into the building. Resulting in internal damp conditions occurring. The primary aim of the proposed development focuses on the external repair works to the buildings, with the repairs to the external fabric of the buildings being carried out as a matter of urgency, in order to make them water and weather tight. Once the external repair works are completed then internal defects will be attended to. Schedules of repair works considered required to each individual building on the site are included as part of Howarth Litchfield's planning and listed buildings application drawings. The intention is that all the defects identified will be fully rectified as part of the proposed works. It is intended that effective rainwater roof drainage will be introduced to the Soho Shed and the Black Boy Branch Buildings and connected into the public surface water sewerage network surrounding the site as indicated in 3E Consulting Engineers' concept design proposals. There are minimal existing services present in Soho House and the Soho Cottages. The installations that do remain in these derelict buildings are in a very poor unsatisfactory condition. New mechanical and electrical installations are proposed to these buildings as indicated in TGA Consulting Engineers' mechanical and electrical concept design services report. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/708f2fd7-0a06-4dae-92c2-8541991cf477 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | 14 Aug 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Oct 2019 - 14 Oct 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £900,000 | | 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 | SCIENCE MUSEUM GROUP | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW7 2DD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Brompton & Hans Town | | Westminster constituency | Kensington and Bayswater | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92520000 - Museum services and preservation services of historical sites and buildings ## Release History - 29 Jul 2019 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/708f2fd7-0a06-4dae-92c2-8541991cf477 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/708f2fd7-0a06-4dae-92c2-8541991cf477 29th July 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL157794 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
