In plain English

Hastings Borough Council wants a contractor to carry out conservation and structural repairs at Hastings Castle, on Castle Hill Road in Hastings. The estimated value is £183,333, and the work is the first phase of a priority works programme for the castle's historic stonework.

What the buyer wants

• Replace deteriorated supporting corbels on a historic arch in one of the church tower walls, stabilise the surviving church stair remains by pinning, deep packing and repointing internal masonry, and dismantle and rebuild a poorly performing section of Victorian wall beside the path to the public toilets. • Remove and replace the steel plate lintels above the rock-cut dungeon entrance. • Carry out all work using appropriate conservation techniques and materials, preserving the historic character of the site while improving its long-term stability and safety.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice asks for a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to carry out conservation work on historic masonry, so a firm without evidence of that kind of experience would most likely be ruled out, and the tender pack (not included in this notice) may set further requirements.

Always check the tender documents.
