1. Overview

St Thomas' Church is currently empty and in need of strip out and rewiring.

Ryde Town Council is looking to create a unique and flexible space to match the requirements of Network Ryde, its staff and children while retaining the feel and heritage of the 200-year-old church.

It is assumed that in most cases a full rewire must be undertaken as many of the areas proposed are new developments and much existing wiring on visual inspection has be shown to be damaged by significant water ingress over some years. This cabling can be stripped out as required.

It is possible that subject to testing the main 16mm armoured cable to the current bathroom area might be repurposed for the kitchen area.

We would expect all bidders to visit the premises and meet with the Project manager before submitting their bid.

The building is Grade II listed.

LBC and Planning Consents are now in place.

A full asbestos survey has been completed and is available to tenderers on request.

A full set of plans is attached.

Office plans are attached.

A Bathroom layout plan is attached.

There will be skip facilities on site.

A toilet and hand washing is available.

The site is locked overnight and entrance is via a locked HERAS fence enclosure.

There will be a full central squirrel cage scaffold with full upper platform to allow works to the ceiling area and roof space above. Contractors are advised that the roof space will require safety harness when working.

The project can be broken down into the following sections.
