Liskeard is an historic market town in South East Cornwall with a population of around 11,000 (with another 30,000 in the rural hinterland). The main shopping centre is characterised by small independent retailers. The Town Council owns and manages the Grade 2* Listed Guildhall on the junction of Fore Street, Pike Street and Market Street. This imposing building was originally built as a meat market and courtroom in 1859. The former market space on the ground floor is now four separate retail units within an attractive open arcade consisting of a greengrocer, dog groomer, beautician, and games/DVDs store. However, the former courtroom on the first floor, having gone through several changes of tenancy, most recently as an MMA gym, is vacant and requiring attention. The former courtroom is accessed via an external staircase leading directly from Fore Street. The hall itself measures 116m2 with a balcony, toilet, and changing room. The high panelled ceiling, wooden floors and large amounts of natural light make this a flexible, attractive space. The Town Council has been awarded a grant from Cornwall Council's Town Delivery Fund to undertake essential cleaning and repairs to the historic former courtroom with the aim of creating a unique space for local businesses and community organisations alike to trial a presence in the town centre and/or innovative approaches. The Council is also interested in exploring pop-ups, temporary eateries, events, markets, exhibitions, and festivals (e.g. beer festival). The overall aim to restore life and vitality to the town centre and attract residents and visitors. The work will include inspecting and repair of sash windows, cleaning the lime plaster ceiling, covings, cross ribs and walls and decoration, decorating all interior joinery and metal balustrading on balcony, inspecting wall mounted infra-red heaters, decorating the external stairwell and historic cast iron gate, fabricating a new curved frame for opening above the cast iron gates and installing lighting and signage. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/75c0117f-7101-4289-ae1e-5eab45d3310c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jan 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Jan 2025 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | 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 | LISKEARD TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | LISKEARD | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL14 6BW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Liskeard Central | | Westminster constituency | South East Cornwall | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45451000 - Decoration work ## Release History - 22 Nov 2024 at 15:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/75c0117f-7101-4289-ae1e-5eab45d3310c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/75c0117f-7101-4289-ae1e-5eab45d3310c 22nd November 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
