Refurbishment of the Boundary Walls to St Mary's Church yard, Banbury

Tender description

The work involves the dismantling and reconstruction of a stone wall that forms part of the boundary to the church yard bridging the roots of a mature horse chestnut tree. This project also includes the refurbishment to a stone and brick section of wall on the south side of the church yard against which is a medieval effigy that must be protected against any damage. This section of wall also forms a retaining wall over a car park with the refurbishment work necessary on both sides of it. Contractors specialised in the refurbishment of church property are requested to make formal bids to undertake the work and provide references or previous projects of this nature. St Mary's Church is located within the local Conservation area for Banbury so great care must be operated at all times when working on the site, that is open to the public at all times. The car park is split into 2 sections run by individual car park operators with whom access will have to be agreed upon the award of the contract. Approval must be sought from the Diocese of Oxford for the protection of the medieval effigy and Cherwell District Council for the Arboricultural Method Statement prior to any contract award therefore this documentation must be included with any tender submission. Any tenders submitted must be in plain envelopes using the enclosed tender label with no distinguishing marks of the tenderer on the outside of the envelope.
