The IHBC’s commercial conservation services listing, HESPR – the Historic Environment Service Providers Recognition scheme – offers weekly HESPR Bulletins listing tender opportunities, and the Director’s top pick for IHBC members this week features Redbridge Borough Council’s (BC) search for a ‘consultant to provide additional guidance to support the Council’s evidence base in relation to tall buildings throughout the Borough’, with a contract valued at £60,000.
IHBC Chair James Caird said: ‘Our weekly Bulletin of current tender notifications to HESPR members is an innovative service that supports commercial conservation businesses that work to the IHBC’s standards and expectations. These weekly selections offer the wider heritage world a regular insight into the conservation profession that we hope combine good news, sector profile and service inspiration all in one.’
Top tender pick of the week
The IHBC Director’s top pick from the HESPR Bulletin for this week is from Redbridge Borough Council’s (BC), which faces pressure from tall buildings that it is rightly addressing strategically by developing the evidence base of its developing Local Plan. The work is described as follows:
‘Consultant to provide additional guidance to support the Council’s evidence base in relation to tall buildings throughout the Borough, focussed around the vision of the draft Redbridge Local Plan. Including a review of existing tall buildings designations for Ilford, Crossrail Corridor and Gants Hill and the continued appropriateness of these designations, identification of other areas within which tall buildings would be considered appropriate, review the policy approach set out in draft policy LP27 Tall Building including key local viewpoints/vistas to be managed.’
The contract is valued at £60,000 and the closing date is 28 October.
