This project, titled "Refurbishment of NLB Oban Base Store Roof," is classified within the "Roof works and other special trade construction works" sector and involves a procurement process that focuses on maintaining operational safety and structural integrity during the roof refurbishment. Interested parties are encouraged to contact procurement@nlb.org.uk by 31 May 2026. The procurement process, valued at £300,000 with a gross amount of £360,000, is planned to begin on 30 August 2026 and conclude by 31 March 2027. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses with expertise in construction and refurbishment, particularly those capable of navigating the complexities of live site work on heritage buildings with asbestos concerns. Companies specialising in heritage building refurbishments, asbestos removal, and those familiar with operations in restricted access environments will find this opportunity well-aligned with their capabilities. The Northern Lighthouse Board is seeking knowledgeable contractors who can deliver high-quality results while ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations and adhering to health and safety protocols. ## Notice The business requirement is to refurbish the flat roof of the main building at NLB Oban Depot to provide a safe, compliant, and durable open space for staff and visitors. The works will extend the life of the asset, improve safety, and address deficiencies that prevent its current use. The scope includes the removal of existing parapet copes to enable the safe removal of known asbestos-containing materials. These works are critical to meeting statutory health and safety obligations and will require an Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) approved by the NLB Principal Civil Engineer prior to commencement. The project must be delivered while maintaining the depot as a live operational facility, protecting the integrity of the Grade C listed building, and achieving value for money. Key Challenges *Live Site Working: The depot will remain operational throughout the works, requiring careful coordination to avoid disruption to planned operations. *Listed Building Constraints: Heritage status limits permissible construction methods and materials, increasing the need for specialist contractor experience. *Asbestos Risk: Known asbestos presents significant health, safety, and commercial risk, necessitating specialist planning, sequencing, and cost allowances. *Access and Logistics: Restricted access for personnel, vehicles, and plant may impact programme and preliminaries. *Cost and Programme Certainty: The combination of asbestos removal, heritage considerations, and live-site constraints increases the potential for unforeseen risks. ### Planning Information Please contact procurement@nlb.org.uk to confirm your interest in participating in this tender process. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041799-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 May 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Aug 2026 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHERN LIGHTHOUSE BOARD | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH2 3DA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh North and Leith | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45260000 - Roof works and other special trade construction works - 45261910 - Roof repair - 45261920 - Roof maintenance work ## Release History - 7 May 2026 at 09:49 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041799-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041799-2026 7th May 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
