NOTE: This notice was updated on 09 November 2021 for the following reason: Contract not awarded due to unforeseen complications and delays with the planning permission required for some of the works published as part of this tender. Greatwell Homes are currently reviewing and rewriting the specification for this tender and planning to publish a further tender, for part of the works in due course.(Greatwell Homes wishes to invite tenders for the supply of works in respect to the demolition of existing garage sites and creation of additional parking spaces, the refurbishment of garages to be retained, and associated external and highway infrastructure works.

• Presently Greatwell Homes own 1562 garages and manage another 68 garages for BCW giving a total of 1630 garages. The cost of repairing these garages over the financial year 2015/16 was £41,658.00 giving an average cost of £25.55 to repair each garage.
• From 1630 garages managed by Greatwell Homes,1132 garages are let with 498 garages void. Any garages that have been refurbished under previous environmental schemes have quickly been let.
• Many of the blocks of garages were constructed in the 1960-70's and the materials used are approaching the end of their life spans. Having undertaken a feasibility study of the garage areas we are able to determine where our future investment needs are and ensure value for money in relation to the assets lifecycle costs.
• Over the years a number of garage sites have been identified that required environmental works and further explore the option to allow garage rents to be increased.
• Four main areas have been identified as requiring substantial works; these areas are Kiln Way, Minerva Way, Fulmar Lane and Gannet Lane in Wellingborough. These areas will involve demolishing existing garages, working with the Local Authority and NCC Highways to increase the number of parking spaces within these areas.
• The successful provider will be expected to enter into a JCT Intermediate 2016 Contract to provide the Works.)
