Land and buildings

Show All | Hide All

If you want to carry out work on land or buildings you’ll need to do the following.

show/hide Before you enter you need to:

  • find out if you need things like planning consent, change of use approval, approval under building regulations
  • speak to the owner if you don’t own the land or building, to see if you can have a lease or written agreement for at least five years if you win
  • include a contingency of up to 10 per cent in your estimates, as you don’t need quotes at this point.

show/hide If you’re shortlisted, you’ll need to:

  • give us a detailed breakdown of costs
  • go out to tender or get written quotes from two or more suppliers for work costing over £10,000
  • tell us how likely it is that you’ll get any permissions you need
  • tell us how you’ll make sure disabled people can get involved in your project, not just wheelchair users but also others, such as those with a visual or hearing impairment
  • tell us how you’ll deal with any safety issues.

show/hide If you win, you’ll need to:

  • send us proof that you own the land or building, or if you don’t, that you have the legal right to use it.
  • confirm that you’ve got the permissions you need to do the work.
