The procurement process is in the tender stage, with submissions due by 19th November 2021. The project, classified under the CPV code for "Buildings of particular historical or architectural interest," is expected to commence on 21st February 2022 and be completed by 31st May 2023. The procurement method is selective, following a restricted procedure, and the primary location for the work is LS1 1UR, Leeds, England. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in historical restoration and decorative arts, especially those with experience in large-scale conservation projects. Contractors with expertise in craftsmanship, particularly in hand-painted Victorian designs, ornamental detailing, and extensive restoration techniques would be well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, ensuring they can meet the stringent quality and timeframe requirements outlined in the tender. ## Notice This project is seeking to appoint a single contractor undertaking the restoration of the historical decorative scheme in the Victoria Hall, the main performance space in Leeds Town Hall - a Grade 1 Listed building. Dating from 1858 the decorative scheme includes fine hand painted Victorian stencil designs, ornate columns, gold leafing, wood panelling, painted plasterwork, and painted designs on the large facade pipes of Leeds Town Hall Organ. Currently, these decorative features are in very poor condition and require extensive repair and restoration. The scope of work is wide-ranging and multi-disciplined with the selected contractor required to restore certain elements to the earliest possible decorative intentions, this includes the reintroduction of the hand painted Victorian stencils designs currently hidden under layers of dust, dirt and redecoration work. Access to archive material and recent paint sampling to aid restoration work will be made available to the selected contractor. This major conservation project will require work of the highest quality and craftmanship. The contractor should have extensive knowledge of decorative and ornamental arts and needs to demonstrate experience of previous, large scale, restoration work in this field. Work will commence on 21st February 2022 with a completion date of May 2023, Leeds Town Hall will be closed to the general public throughout this period. Contractors need to ensure that they can take on the works in the timeframe outlined above as these dates are unable to be moved due to other works in the Victoria Hall and wider Town Hall. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5963dd85-8e94-4713-a7e9-e0b30b0a0248 | | 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 | 12 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 19 Nov 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Feb 2022 - 31 May 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | LEEDS CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 1UR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45212350 - Buildings of particular historical or architectural interest ## Release History - 12 Nov 2021 at 14:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5963dd85-8e94-4713-a7e9-e0b30b0a0248 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5963dd85-8e94-4713-a7e9-e0b30b0a0248 12th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=40642&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/104105 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.leeds.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
