The IHBC’s heritage business register HESPR – the Historic Environment Service Providers Recognition scheme – emails members weekly ‘News and Tender Alerts’, and the IHBC Director’s top pick for NewsBlog readers this week features a call from Historic England, which seeks a desk-based study of fabric inspection reports to address key questions in the care of listed places of worship (LPOW), closing 10 January, and valued at £20,000.
IHBC Chair James Caird said: ‘Our weekly News and Tender Alert offers current tender opportunities to HESPR members, supporting 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 pick from the HESPR News and Tender Alert email for this week features the call from Historic England for a desk-based report on ‘The value of maintenance’ in the care of listed places of worship, to be developed ‘using existing fabric inspection reports… to provide evidence in relation to three key questions in the care of listed places of worship: a. What is the current estimated repair cost for necessary capital works on this sample of historic places of worship? b. What would have been the cost of timely maintenance and minor ‘stitch in time’ type repairs if they had been done when identified in the fabric report/s as being necessary? And c. Would prompt attention to maintenance and repair issues have prevented or slowed down the development of major repair needs or are some of these the result of material, structural or design failures and could not have been managed or averted by maintenance?’ valued at £20,000 and closing 10 January 2019.
