Invitation to Tender for Clitheroe Castle Keep Structural Repairs

Scheme Details

Ribble Valley Borough Council have issued an Invitation to Tender to all those wishing to tender to the Structural Repairs to Clitheroe Castle Keep, Lancashire.

Clitheroe Castle Keep is a Norman Keep and is a Grade 1 Listed Building and a Scheduled Monument. The keep stands on a prominent outcrop of rock which forms a natural motte. The Keep and associated museum are accessed either via steep stone steps up from the entrance to the castle grounds, or by a tarmac drive leading to the Museum, Keep and other buildings.

A structural conservation survey was undertaken in 2023 concluding works were required to preserve the openings, wall head, spiral staircase and delaminated quoins. It is the conservation work identified in this survey that forms the basis of the works required in this tender opportunity.

As the Keep is a scheduled monument consent the works must be carried out by suitably experienced contractors and signed off by competent persons.

The closing date for the return of all documents is 2:00pm on Friday 15th August 2025.

The Council’s requirements, instructions to tenderers and other details about the works are set out in the documents listed below.

Those intending to Tender are advised to regularly check this page for any amendments or additions. Should there be any, these will be clearly identified.
