Purpose

The Warm and Healthy
Homes project has secured funding to repair and improve the
building fabric of 65 of the last remaining Grade 2 listed Railway
Cottages built by the Grand Junction Railway Company in 1841 within
Crewe, including works to the associated public realm.
 
A
provisional survey was carried out in 2022 to obtain the funding,
that survey identified a range of works required to the
properties.  Due to the extent and scale
of those works the services, the appointment of the contractors is
essential in order to complete the work and comply with the listed
building stipulations.
 
Given the preference
to commit this funding within this financial year, it is proposed
to directly appoint suppliers for work packages using the
Construction Related Consultancy Framework for Heritage
buildings.
