## Summary

The Christchurch Mansion Consolidation Project, initiated by Ipswich Borough Council, involves the construction and improvement of a listed building located in the East of England. The project is classified under building construction work (CPV 45210000) and seeks to repair and enhance the historic mansion, which is currently in need of significant upgrades. This procurement was conducted through a selective procedure, with the contract awarded on 9th March 2016 and a contract value of £744,233.12. The contract period is from 16th May 2016 to 31st December 2016. Suppliers had to register on the e-portal to access tender documents, and the tender period ended on 16th November 2015.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for construction companies, particularly those with experience in heritage refurbishments and projects involving listed buildings. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage, especially those specialising in building construction, roofing, and mechanical and electrical engineering services. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in preserving historical structures while modernising facilities will be well-suited to compete for contracts of this nature, thereby fostering growth in the thriving cultural heritage and construction sectors.

## Notice

Christchurch Mansion is wholly owned by Ipswich Borough Council. The Mansion is a listed building that houses fine art including Constables and Gainsboroughs, plus artefacts that are linked or are common to the area. The Mansion is situated in Christchurch Park which attracts a number of major events including concerts, outdoor film screenings and an annual fireworks display. Christchurch Mansion is a brick and timber framed Tudor mansion. It has substantial original historic panelled interiors and room settings coupled with museum displays. It forms the principal display and storage areas for IBC's decorative art, fine art and furniture collections. In addition there is a two-storey brick extension on the rear consisting of a salvaged Tudor building, added to the mansion in the 1920s and a purpose built art gallery added in the 1930s. The Christchurch Mansion is in general need of improvement and repair. Over the years, some repair works have been carried out, but now the Mansion is showing signs of deterioration. There is now a need to bring the Mansion up to a good standard and level of comfort to allow visitors to enjoy the museum as the principle replacement to the Ipswich Museum whilst it is being re-developed and shut to the public from summer of 2017 through to the summer of 2019. Additional information: Potential tenderers will need to register as a supplier in the first instance on the e-portal in order to fully view and download the necessary documentation.
