Partial Demolition of the existing staff area and conversion into a store area for parts. This will reduce the existing 1950's built eight bays to five bays with a new roof structure over this area. 3. Re-cladding of the existing structure, replacing the existing non insulated GRP and Asbestos cladding with insulated cladding panels and polycarbonate semi opaque roof lights. 4. Alterations to the yard layout to improve traffic circulation and alterations to the entrance and exit. Car parking and the entrance to the new staff accommodation will also be improved. 5. New fuel management including associated tanks and servicing equipment.

The existing garage operation involves approximately 80 buses and 100 staff and is in operation 18 to 20 hours per day. Provided with this notice is a pre-qualification questionnaire for completion by interested parties, and drawings to indicate the general scope of the works involved.
