Description

To renovate the Conservatory to agreed specifications including change of flooring, modernize the bar area, lighting and décor and make the kitchen food service doors more practical for use.
The aspiration is for a design scheme that is modern and airy but sympathetic to the heritage of the Priory building. The Conservatory primary use is for wedding receptions, any design elements should be neutral to work with colours and schemes for Priory guests.
In general access to the Conservatory will be Monday to Friday from 8am until 8pm. If work is required to be undertaken over the weekend, this can be arranged with the Operations Manager.

Ware Priory is operational with commercial and charity events at various times. Coordination with the Operations Manager or Sales and Marketing Manager will be required as it may be necessary that no work is carried out should it be deemed to cause disruption to private events on the Priory estate.

There are a number of business tenants that hire space on the first and second floor of Ware Priory. None are located near the Conservatory, but the contractor will be expected to advise the Operations Manager if any work due to be carried out will be disruptive to them so that she can manage this situation, either by noise or dust pollution.
Ware Priory will require reporting as required and in particular any impact on the project timescale, plus anything that may cause reputational damage to Ware Priory.
Please specify in the pricing schedule the requirement for any phased payments. WTC seek to pay all correct invoices within 30days.
WTC will retain 10% of the contract value for a period of 3 months.
