This project, valued at £900,000, falls under the works category. Currently, the procurement process is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 10 January 2020. The buyer is accepting electronic submissions and has advised suppliers to allow sufficient time for document uploads prior to the closing deadline. This opportunity presents significant potential for growth in the construction and hospitality sectors. Businesses experienced in renovation and restoration projects, especially those with expertise in preserving historical buildings, will find themselves well-suited to compete for this tender. The project's focus on converting a heritage site into functional space may attract companies with a strong track record in similar works, thus contributing to their business expansion and portfolio strengthening. ## Notice Complete repair and refurbishment of the derelict former John Trail Bookshop located at 5-13 Mid Street in the centre of Fraserburgh and conversion into a hotel. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The project will see the derelict building at 5 - 13 Mid Street, Fraserburgh fully restored and brought back into productive use as a small hotel (11 double, ensuite rooms). A Conservation Architect has surveyed the building and concluded: "the property consists of two buildings on the south side of Mid Street in the centre of Fraserburgh. No 5 is a mid-18th century house while No 9-13 is later, perhaps mid-19th century. No 9 was previously the John Trail Bookshop but was destroyed by a fire in April 2009. The Bookshop was of high social and historic significance in Fraserburgh town centre having been opened by Thomas Trail, stationer, in June 1870. Its loss was much lamented and is still felt in the town. The buildings have a distinctive presence on Mid Street and the gable with the faded Bookshop sign is particularly prominent. The proportions of No 5 suggest it is the earlier of the two while No 9-13 has grander proportions, with a fine door-piece at No 11. All windows that are not blocked up are timber sash and case. Some historic internal features remain, including a cast iron stair balustrade, some panelled doors, joinery, and, on the first floor of No 11-13, coving and timber chimney pieces. The general condition is very poor and its appearance very unsightly. Its derelict condition detracts from the character of the Conservation Area". ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV373055 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Nov 2019 | | Submission deadline | 10 Jan 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Mar 2020 - 26 Feb 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £900,000 | | Lots value | £900,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH EAST SCOTLAND PRESERVATION TRUST | | Locality | STONEHAVEN | | Post town | Aberdeen | | Postcode | AB39 2DQ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM5 North Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM50 Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire | | Local authority | Aberdeenshire | | Electoral ward | Stonehaven and Lower Deeside | | Westminster constituency | West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine | | Delivery location | TLM5 North Eastern Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45210000 - Building construction work ## Release History - 25 Nov 2019 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV373055 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV373055&idx=13 25th November 2019 - Preconstruction Information - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV373055&idx=9 25th November 2019 - EKJN Drawings 4 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV373055&idx=10 25th November 2019 - EKJN Specifications - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV373055&idx=11 25th November 2019 - Ironmongery Schedule - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV373055&idx=12 25th November 2019 - Bill of Quantities - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV373055&idx=7 25th November 2019 - EKJN Drawings 2 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV373055&idx=8 25th November 2019 - EKJN Drawings 3 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV373055&idx=1 25th November 2019 - Drawing Register - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV373055&idx=2 25th November 2019 - Form of Tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV373055&idx=3 25th November 2019 - Catering Kitchen - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV373055&idx=4 25th November 2019 - DNA Drawings - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV373055&idx=5 25th November 2019 - EDP Drawings - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV373055&idx=6 25th November 2019 - EKJN Drawings 1 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV373055 Refurbishment of 5-13 Mid Street, Fraserburgh and conversion into a hotel - Complete repair and refurbishment of the derelict former John Trail Bookshop located at 5-13 Mid Street in the centre of Fraserburgh and conversion into a hotel. ## Notice URLs - http://www.nespt.org - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000605503 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=605503 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
