Description

Thetford Town council purchased St Peter's church in 2008 from the Norwich diocese at a cost of £1. For the majority of the time since the purchase the building has been empty but has recently been let out to a voluntary youth organisation.

The Town Council commissioned a structural investigation report from JP Chick in 2008 and a follow up structural inspection report in 2010. (Documents are attached to this tender report). The Town council are aware that remedial work is required on the two main entrance doors to the church and have concerns about the shutters in the tower
Some of the minor works recommended were completed but the major works were not. The Town Council is now looking for an architect to provide a quote for the following:-
1. To assess the building's current state and create an up to date condition survey and 4 year costed maintenance plan.
2. Prepare the tender documents, advertise tender and prepare a tender report for councillors to consider.
3. Once the tender is awarded manage the completion of the works with the appointed contractor.
We will be seeking grant funding towards these works so we need the appointed architect who can work with funding bodies and be prepared to be flexible.
Tender Requirements
• Submit an itemised written quote to prepare the condition survey, maintenance plan
• Submit an itemised quote for preparation of tender documents, advertising of tender and production of tender report.
