Purpose

Within the Ipswich Old Cemetery, the
non-conformist chapel used as a stonemason’s workshop had had
significant masonry failures and requires repair. This site forms
part of a pair of Grade II listed structures and specialist care is
required to undertake these works.
 
Following an open procurement process, the
Council received several bids that were all more than 10% over the
Project budget. Following review of the bids, it was concluded that
the best value for money was to accept a quote from Adamson
Conservation Ltd of £26,850.00 (excl. VAT). This will be
funded from an existing Capital Works Budget allocated for this
project.

Decision

To award the contract to Adamson Conservation
Ltd.
 
Reason:
To enable the masonry repairs to the Grade II
Listed non-conformist chapel.
