This tender is in the active stage and follows a restricted procedure with an estimated contract value of £500,000. The tender period ends on 24 June 2019, while the expected contract period will commence on 7 October 2019 and conclude by 1 June 2020. The properties, two of which are listed buildings, are situated in an area marked for regeneration within Sunderland City Centre. This project presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the construction and cultural sectors, to engage in the restoration of historically significant buildings. Companies with expertise in building preservation, cultural facility construction, and related trades are well-suited to compete for this contract. The aim to restore these structures for cultural use not only highlights growth prospects for bidders but also contributes to the revitalisation of the local area, enhancing community pride and increasing foot traffic to the High Street. ## Notice 170-175 High Street West consists of a highly significant group of 3 properties in a very prominent position on the edge of Sunderland City Centre and within the City Centre High Street West Investment Corridor. They include two listed buildings dating from the 1790s. Tyne & Wear Building Preservation Trust wish to bring this terrace of 3 buildings back into use 170/1, 172/3 and 174/5. They were originally built as houses in late 1700's, with their ground floors converted to retail/office very early on. 170/1 is in best condition and has two front doors (hence the double number). 172/3 has a different layout as it was converted to a department store by removing the first floor and building back into garden (middle building figure 2), which created a large space. This is now considered critical to significance of the ensemble. 174/5 is not listed, but found to be as old as the other two, which are listed, and also has two front doors (one for shop and one for upper floors). The three buildings are owned Freehold by the TWBPT. They were gifted by Sunderland City Council in February 2018. The aim for the buildings (not a legal obligation) is to bring them back into use, and develop them for cultural use. Since, the TWBPT have made the buildings safe / stable, and have received planning permission for its proposed restoration, which includes a music venue with ancillary cafe and a record shop, and office/workshop space for cultural companies and artists. The Trust were seen as the 'last option' by the council, if this attempt fails then the buildings could probably be lost. Once restored however, the buildings are expected to be a really necessary and positive addition to the street and help the revitalisation of the area, e.g. by increased footfall, floor space brought back into use, and pride. Funding is expected from two main sources to repair the external fabric of the building and then allow basic use to be brought back to the ground floor. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb87561a-2f17-4275-8d7d-665a1785d8f2 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Restricted Procedure (non-OJEU) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 24 Jun 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Oct 2019 - 1 Jun 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | 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 | DOONAN ARCHITECTS LTD | | Locality | HEXHAM | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE46 3PQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC42 Northumberland | | Local authority | Northumberland | | Electoral ward | Hexham Central with Acomb | | Westminster constituency | Hexham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45212300 - Construction work for art and cultural buildings - 45212350 - Buildings of particular historical or architectural interest ## Release History - 14 Jun 2019 at 13:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb87561a-2f17-4275-8d7d-665a1785d8f2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb87561a-2f17-4275-8d7d-665a1785d8f2 14th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/43df5bd9-a49e-42b6-82ae-536d19a6ec40 PQQ Competency Checklist - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8f62bdef-ae48-4837-a15b-76aa92fec05e PQQ Tender Instructions ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
