Phase 3 Windows and Stonework Project

Tender description

LHA wishes to procure a contractor (referred to as Tenderer) through a competitive tender exercise to supply and install double glazed windows; both timber and upvc, and sandstone repair works. The majority of addresses included in this project are Victorian, pre-1919 tenement blocks within a conservation area. The project will involve supply and installation of windows and stonework repairs as well as some additional works described in the uploaded Project Particulars to Linthouse Housing Association properties. All properties included in this project are under full ownership of the Association. The project contains 76 individual flats at nine locations in the G51 area. Please refer to the address list (Appendix 1) in the Project Particulars, all of which are pre-1919 Victorian sandstone tenements which were previously improved during the 1970s and 80s. There has been some repair work carried out on the exterior of the buildings since then; however, the nature and extent of work varies, and this should be taken into consideration. All but one of the closes fall within a conservation area and as such, there are more onerous planning conditions to be met, such as timber windows to front elevations. Additionally, consultation with the Planning Department is required in relation to the extent of stonework repairs. Due to costs, any windows that are not visible from street level will receive upvc, double glazed windows. Contractors should be aware that tenants will remain in-situ throughout the project works. Further detail is provided in the additional document, Project Particulars.
