The Mission Gallery in Swansea needs new custom-made windows and a rear conservatory/porch replacement for its Grade II listed building. The work is funded by Arts Council Wales and will involve supplying and fitting hardwood timber or aluminium double‑glazed units, including a fire‑exit door. This is aimed at suppliers who can design, manufacture and install the windows to heritage standards.
Requirements
- Windows and porch must be custom‑made in hardwood timber or aluminium
- All glazing must be double‑glazed
- Products must comply with heritage (Grade II listed) and fire‑exit regulations
- Supplier must arrange a site visit to understand the scope
- Installation must be carried out on working days Wednesday to Saturday
- Compliance with relevant building regulations and any Arts Council Wales procurement rules
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Supply and install a replacement rear glazed conservatory/porch, including a fire‑exit door
- Supply and install a new ground‑floor kitchen window
- Supply and install a series of first‑floor workshop windows
- Ensure all units are double‑glazed and finished in either hardwood timber or aluminium
- Coordinate installation dates to fit the gallery’s Wednesday‑to‑Saturday schedule
How to Read This Tender
- 1Look for any mention of heritage or listed‑building constraints – these often require specialist workmanship and approval from conservation officers
- 2Check the procurement documents for detailed specifications on glazing performance, thermal ratings and fire‑safety requirements
- 3Note the requirement for a site visit – use it to verify measurements, access constraints and to ask about any hidden conditions
- 4Pay attention to the working‑day schedule (Wed‑Sat) as it may affect your mobilisation plan and labor costs
- 5Confirm whether the buyer expects you to provide design drawings or just the manufactured units – the notice says drawings will be supplied, but clarify any design responsibilities
Tips for Small Businesses
- Consider partnering with a local specialist contractor experienced in listed‑building windows to meet heritage requirements without needing a large in‑house team
- Highlight any social‑value contributions (e.g., using locally sourced timber or employing local tradespeople) – Arts Council Wales often awards points for community benefit
- If the total value is modest, you could propose a joint‑venture or subcontract part of the work to a larger firm to strengthen your bid while retaining the main contract
