Chestnuts House is a Grade II* listed mansion built on the edge of the village of Walthamstow in approximately 1745. The building is owned by the Council and is regarded as one of the best surviving and least altered examples of Georgian domestic architecture in Waltham Forest. The building has remained largely unused since 2008, other than being occupied by residential 'Guardians' to ensure its security. Although Chestnuts House is occupied by live-in guardians, the building has suffered from a lack of maintenance and requires works to ensure its long-term future and its removal from Historic England's Heritage at Risk register. The Council wants to secure a long-term future for the building, and to enable the building's removal from the Heritage at Risk register. The Council is currently marketing the building to secure an operator to let the building for the provision of creative workspace. The intention is that the Council will complete essential repairs and the operator will undertake their own fit-out works. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b0dcfcee-1555-40fe-b706-1eddf03082dd | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | 5 Jul 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Sep 2024 - 13 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,728,800 | | 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 | LONDON BOROUGH OF WALTHAM FOREST | | Locality | CHINGFORD | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E4 8TD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI5 Outer London - East and North East | | ITL 3 | TLI53 Redbridge and Waltham Forest | | Local authority | Waltham Forest | | Electoral ward | Valley | | Westminster constituency | Chingford and Woodford Green | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 24 May 2024 at 15:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b0dcfcee-1555-40fe-b706-1eddf03082dd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b0dcfcee-1555-40fe-b706-1eddf03082dd 24th May 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=55dae4aa-d019-ef11-812b-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.walthamforest.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
