Description

Wigan Council has been successful with a Round 2 National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) grant application for the restoration of Haigh Woodland Park. The Council is seeking to commission an appropriate contractor to undertake the restoration of the bothy cottages and potting sheds combined with a contemporary new-build range of glasshouses. The project will bring an under-used part of the site back into beneficial use and provide a focus for visitor experience combined with facilities for training, volunteering, events, and education. Wigan Council are seeking to procure a main contractor suitably experienced, resourced and with capacity to lead on this combination of both restoration and new-build, appointing specialist sub-contractors as required to deliver the specification of work. The programme of works targets the delivery of the specified works between October 2025 and January 2027. Wigan Council have appointed a design team which will be assisting the Authority to carry out the procurement and management of the contract. Details of the design team is available in the Invitation to Tender documentation.
