Tender: Phased Refurbishment of Victoria Hall, Oakham (Grade II Listed)

About

Oakham Town Council is seeking a contractor for the phased refurbishment of Victoria Hall, a Grade II listed community building in Oakham, Rutland. This phase requires preparation of a detailed scope and fixed-cost schedule covering roof repairs and associated structural works, floor investigation and damp remediation, toilet renovation and accessibility improvements, window repair or replacement in accordance with heritage requirements, guttering and rainwater goods repair or replacement, internal upgrades and cosmetic improvements, and an electrical investigation. The successful contractor must provide a comprehensive breakdown of works including methodology, materials and compliance with conservation requirements, a detailed fixed-cost schedule for each element, proposed timescales and phasing to minimise disruption to community activities, and identification of any additional works or risks arising from the initial survey. An initial building survey has been completed and will be provided to the successful tenderer; the purpose of this phase is to undertake a full fixed-cost exercise to assess project viability and inform subsequent funding and delivery stages. Contractors must demonstrate experience working on heritage or listed buildings with appropriate accreditations and references, and there is a preference to utilise local contractors.
