## Summary

The North York Moors National Park Authority is conducting a tender process for restoration works on the Osmotherly WW2 Starfish control bunker, a Scheduled Monument located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. This procurement falls within the construction industry, specifically focusing on historical monument restoration. The tender period ends on 1st February 2021, with the contract period commencing on 2nd February 2021 and concluding by 31st March 2021. The total contract value ranges from £10,000 to £20,000, and the procurement method is an open procedure below threshold.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), specialising in construction, masonry, and restoration services. Businesses proficient in historical conservation and capable of executing historic brickwork repairs, roofing, and site preservation will be particularly well-suited to participate. The project not only allows for the development of essential skills within those sectors but also enhances the historical significance of the region.

## Notice

The site is a Scheduled Monument, a WW2 bombing decoy shelter in the west of the North York Moors National Park. It was originally a 'Starfish' control building for artificial fires on the adjacent moorland, designed to distract enemy bombers aimed at Teesside into dropping their payloads in the wrong area, but has suffered from general degradation, water ingress and vandalism in recent years. For more historic background see the site listing entry at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1020041. The site is currently used by Cleveland and Darlington Astronomical Society to store equipment. The site requires historic brickwork and pointing repairs, RWG and concrete roofing, and pinning of blast walls, all detailed in attached spec documents. PLEASE NOTE WORKS MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE END OF MARCH 2021.
