II.2.1)

Total quantity or scopeThe focus for this Project is Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland, a Grade I listed mansion set within Grade II — registered park and gardens. This property was acquired by the National Trust in 2009 and has since undergone major conservation works. A further major conservation and interpretation project, entitled ‘The Curtain Rises’, is currently in development. ‘The Curtain Rises’ will include urgent conservation and infrastructure works.
‘The Curtain Rises’ prioritises all necessary works to conserve Seaton Delaval Hall: from the re-roofing of the West Wing to stabilisation of the ha-ha walls and bastions, from conserving the collapsing stable stalls to consolidating the derelict Mausoleum. We will also be addressing the visitor experience, from toilets and cafe to interpretation, to ensure that we put Seaton Delaval onto a sustainable footing for the future. These works also include providing a more accessible experience by reconfiguring footpaths and creating solid links between the various areas of the estate.
We are not, at this stage, able to undertake less urgent, although still desirable, restoration works across the estate. The Curtain Rises project is viewed as being the start of a new phase of incremental activity and we know that there is much more to come.
Expressions of interest are invited from experienced contractors with relevant experience on projects of similar scale and nature. Interested companies should request and complete a Pre-qualification Questionnaire in accordance with the instructions in this document.
The SDH Curtain Rises Project, as a whole, is a conservation led project seeking to address priority conservation issues at Seaton Delaval Hall. In addition we want to improve the visitor experience on site and are upgrading our facilities to meet expectations. The Conservation and Infrastructure scope is:
— Conservation: Deliver the urgent conservation work needed to save this Grade I Listed Building and its associated landscape. Several Work Packages have been identified to repair and consolidate the main mansion buildings and key landscape features:
—— WP01 Central Hall: Works to north & south portico steps to provide greater prevention of water ingress to basement, install flooring in the basement, complete outstanding masonry repairs generally, repairs to east and west internal stairs, creation of designed infrastructure to enable creative interpretation of the spaces, includes potential for future lift access
—— WP02 West Wing: re-roof, upgrade of heating system to include conservation heating controls (and investigate renewable energy opportunities), general stonework and timber repair, internal redecoration
—— WP03 East Wing: creation of high quality visitor toilet, address internal issues in the Stables, general stonework repair
—— WP04 Brewhouse: Refurbishment, repair and conversion of existing building accompanied by new build extension to provide a 90 cover cafe
—— WP05 Landscape Structures: masonry repair of HaHa walls and bastions, masonry and timber repairs including new temporary roof to Orangery, stabilisation of the Walled garden walls including buttressing where appropriate. Repair and stabilisation of the Mausoleum and Sea Walk Walls
—— WP06 Landscape: Reviewing and re-modelling of footpath network, planting, tree works to revive the landscape offer and provide a step back to more historical layouts by creating vistas and views that have been lost or obstructed over the years whilst providing more accessible routes to greater proportion of the grounds. The works also include removal of existing play scapes and modular buildings
—— WP07 Play: Bespoke play installations and interpretation offer to both North West woods and South East gardens.
— Infrastructure: Provide facilities which are fit for purpose and enhance visitors’ experience of the property.
The Principal contractor will be responsible for the successful delivery of the construction phase of the project working alongside the National Trust, design team and key stake holders to ensure the project is completed on time, budget and to a high quality along with ensuring the duties of Principal contractor under CDM Regulations 2017 are met. The project has many challenges including maintaining the attraction open to the public during the construction works and ensuring there is a suitable offer available for visitors at all times. This will require detailed logistical planning to ensure safe passage through the site by the public and staff on a day to day basis. |
