The Manor House - Headstone Manor is an architectural gem nestled amongst the residential suburbs of London Borough of Harrow. A wonderful artefact in itself, the evolution of this Grade 1 listed building is more visible than many other historic buildings with medieval, Tudor, Victorian and Georgian influences made even more intriguing by its location on a moated island.

The Granary - this early 19th century cattle feed store was moved from Pinner Park Farm to Headstone Manor in 1991 and will form the new learning spaces for schools and families.

New Welcome Building - will have visitor facilities such as cafe, retail and toilets with outdoor seating facilities.

Harrow Council is working with the HLF and other partners on a regeneration project to transform Headstone Manor & Museum into a regional heritage attraction and full-time public museum.

The anticipated budget for this project is in the order of £2,000,000.00. Two million pounds .

Tenderers will be procured initially by undertaking the PQQ exercise; should the Tenderers be successful with the PQQ and detailed references taken, a final shortlist will be issued with the ITT for the project.

The main building construction works proposed for the Project will be fully designed and detailed at the point of Tender, with drawings, specifications and a detailed Schedule of Works, which will define the quality and quantity of work to be carried out.

It is anticipated that the JCT Intermediate Building Contract with Quantities 2011 will be utilised. This form of contract gives the Employer the benefit of reasonable control procedures and also allows the option to design discrete parts of the works (contractor's design portion) if required
