External Cladding Refurbishment for Holmes Chapel Community Centre Studio Building

Holmes Chapel Parish Council is seeking quotations to refurbish the deteriorating external cladding on the studio building of Holmes Chapel Community Centre, managed by Everybody Health & Leisure. The existing cladding shows signs of flaking paint and surface rusting patches, requiring remedial works to protect the building and improve its appearance. Work will focus on the most affected sides of the building and must be sympathetic to the neighboring residential area. Suppliers must provide multiple options with separate scaffolding costs, detailed method statements, and risk assessments. The building operates daily, so works must be coordinated with EH&L and the Parish Council to maintain Health & Safety standards while allowing continued center use. Quotations must include proposed timescales and commence dates. All suppliers must visit the site, demonstrate relevant competencies, and provide performance guarantees. Quotations close 12:00 noon on 20 July 2026. Key requirements: minimum insurance of £5M Public Liability, £5M Employer's Liability, and £1M Professional Indemnity; fixed prices held for six months; payment within 10 days of invoice completion with 5% retention for 6 months; and contract signature required before work begins.
