The restoration of Llanelly House will be undertaken around a high quality programme of conservation and restoration that will draw from, interpret for and enrich the communities of Llanelli through restoring the House to its place in Llanelli’s heritage.

The core objectives of the Llanelly House project have been set to ensure Llanelly House provides a high quality visitor experience:

• To sympathetically conserve, restore and interpret the building in its entirety to its original Georgian Grade 1 status (early 18th – early 19th century).

• Bring the building into full community, heritage and economic use.

• To provide high quality learning opportunities for schools and other educational groups.

• Create a facility which the entire community can utilise.

• “Access for All”.

• To engage the community in the projects development.

• Give the building focus and function that is understood and utilized by the community locally and nationally.

• To make the building financially sustainable through a carefully considered after-use programme that breathes and flexes with the community’s needs.

• The building instills and promotes local and national pride.

CHRT is currently in the middle of a £5.4m capital project known as Llanelly House. We are procuring the services of an experienced Principal Contractor, who will be required to work with relevant internal and external personnel at CHRT to develop the principal contraction for the fabrication construction phase of the project.

The goal of this tender is to appoint an experienced Principal Contractor for the Llanelly House Restoration & Regeneration Project due to be completed by 2012 final quarter. The organisation should have the relevant experience of working and collaborating on multi-disciplinary heritage regeneration projects from conservation and restoration of Grade 1 Listed buildings and preferably integration of heritage interpretation within visitor attractions within the last 5 years.

Prior to full funding, an independent Conservation Architect, Craig Hamilton Architects, produced the original conservation scheme together with the QS firm Parry and Dawkin. Following a non-OJEU and OJEU procurement, the following companies have been procured to execute the project:

Please note that the project has been completed up to RIBA Stage G by:

• Quantity Surveyors – Parry & Dawkin

• Project & Conservation Architect – Austin-Smith:Lord

The cost plan and the delivery times in this tender are yet to be formally approved by the CHRT’s board, and therefore are subject to change, rescheduling or omission in the final schedule of works. The chosen tenderer maybe subject to financial adjustment to suit CHRT board requirements.

The estimated value of the total Architectural Design planning, Restoration & Build is expected to be £3.5 - 3.75 million.
