Tender: Viability Appraisal for Rowley’s House and Mansion, Grade 2* – Shrewsbury

About

Shropshire Council is seeking a firm of suitably qualified and experienced chartered surveyors to produce a Viability Appraisal for Rowley’s House and Mansion, a Grade 2* building in the centre of Shrewsbury owned by the Council. The appraisal will form a key part of a first-round bid to the National Lottery Heritage Enterprise Fund and, if that bid is successful, the appointed firm may be retained to produce a Development Appraisal to support a later Delivery Funding application. Consultants must undertake all necessary research and analysis and provide a report that considers sustainable end-use options, gives an initial assessment of costs, values and the likely conservation deficit, and shows the project fits the Heritage Enterprise programme in line with the National Lottery guidance (Appendix 5). This demanding role is aimed at a senior professional—ideally a RICS-registered practitioner—experienced in development appraisals on similar projects; proposals signed by a company director must be emailed to Project Manager Peter Gilbertson ([email protected]) by 5pm on Wednesday 10 June 2026.
