The contract, valued at £384,364, is part of the HLF-funded Main Mill & Kiln Project aimed at restoring this heritage site, which includes the world's first iron-framed building. The contract period began on 15th December 2017 and will run until 19th March 2021. This selective procurement method follows a restricted procedure, and the tender period concluded on 20th November 2017. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the museum-exhibition and design consultancy sectors. Companies that specialise in interpretation services, historical site preservation, and artistic creation are particularly well-suited to compete in this field. With the backing of Historic England and its partners, there is a clear potential for business growth and community engagement through the successful delivery of this project, enhancing public access and the overall visitor experience at the flmxmill. ## Notice Historic England is seeking to appoint a contractor to design, build and deliver the Interpretation Project which is an integral part of the HLF-funded Main Mill & Kiln Project at Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings. The Project aims to restore and conserve a group of 'at risk' buildings on this unique and important industrial heritage site, including the World's first iron-framed building. The Grade 1 Main Mill has huge importance in the history of architecture and engineering and is undoubtedly of international significance while the site is exceptionally rich in social, economic and technological history. The project is being managed through a partnership comprising Historic England, Shropshire Council and the Friends of the Flaxmill Maltings (the Friends). Historic England is the lead partner and accountable body for the project. The Friends were established in August 2010 and are a key partner in the project. They have been managing public access and engagement since 2010, including operating the small Visitor Centre (in the Office & Stables) that opened in 2014. They will be responsible for future visitor operations and community engagement across the site, including the operation of the much larger visitor centre on the ground floor of the Main Mill. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/90118eee-440b-49dd-956f-47e6a81dc850 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | 20 Nov 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Dec 2017 | | Contract period | 15 Dec 2017 - 19 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £834,264 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £384,364 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HISTORIC ENGLAND-DITHERINGTON | | Locality | SHROPSHIRE | | Post town | Shrewsbury | | Postcode | SY1 2SX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG22 Shropshire | | Local authority | Shropshire | | Electoral ward | Castlefields and Ditherington | | Westminster constituency | Shrewsbury | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HEADLAND DESIGN | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 79415200 - Design consultancy services - 92310000 - Artistic and literary creation and interpretation services - 92520000 - Museum services and preservation services of historical sites and buildings - 92521100 - Museum-exhibition services ## Release History - 20 Dec 2017 at 16:26 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/90118eee-440b-49dd-956f-47e6a81dc850 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/90118eee-440b-49dd-956f-47e6a81dc850 20th December 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/historic-england/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
