TH.CARS2 Public Realm Works - High Street and Weighhouse Close

Tender description

The Council wish to appoint a Contractor to undertake the implementation of refurbished hard landscaping on 2no. footways within the historic core of Paisley Town Centre. There are existing basements within sections of the High Street which will require new support beams and support systems to be installed which will allow paving to be extended to meet the building facades. This work has been designed under the TH.CARS2 Public Realm Landscape Architect contract which provided a design for the whole of High Street and Weighhouse Close. In support of the Paisley Town Centre Heritage Asset Strategy, funding was secured for a second Paisley Townscape Heritage/ Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (TH.CARS2). The TH.CARS2 project was to be delivered over the approved 5-year period 2016 – 2021 focussing on the delivery of building repair, shopfront restoration, public realm improvements and an extensive programme of heritage education, training, and events. Grant awards were confirmed from Historic Environment Scotland (HES) and National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF). In April 2020 NLHF agreed to an extension to December 2022 of the TH.CARS2 project, with HES agreeing to this extension in June 2020.
