Description
IWM is seeking suitably qualified and experienced contractors to undertake the refurbishment of our historic hangar doors in Hangar 3. These are grade II* listed First World War buildings. The works carried out on these buildings must be done with careful sensitivity to the historic fabric and requires careful coordination, adherence to safety standards, and consideration of the operational environment.
The scope of works only covers the north side doors of Hangar 3 with the aim to get the doors operational to support the activities of our flying partners. It includes the repair and, where required, replacement of various elements such as wheels, hinges and runners.
Please note that early engagement with the mandatory site visit requirement is crucial as only the pre-scheduled site visit on 25 August can be accommodated.
This tender invites Potential Providers with demonstrable expertise with historic buildings and timber and working within a busy, public environment.
Please note that these works are subject to listed building consent application conditions (the works generally are approved). Greater Cambridge Planning will require approval of the following:
-Final details of Essavian door repairs showing extend of timber replacement and Epoxy resin repairs

These details we expect to resolve with the appointed contractor and timeline for approval may affect start date onsite.
