What the notice says

VIVID Housing are inviting contractors to submit for the refurbishment and recoating of the external façade, cladding systems, architectural metalwork, and associated external elements at their office at Peninsular House, Wharf Road, Portsmouth, PO2 8HB. This is a competitive flexible procedure. The project aims to improve the appearance of the building, protect the external envelope from further deterioration, and extend the service life of the existing façade systems. The successful contractor will be responsible for all surveys, access arrangements, surface preparation, repairs, and application of specialist coating systems required to complete the work in accordance with current industry standards and manufacturer recommendations. The external appearance of Peninsular House has deteriorated over time due to weathering and the ageing of previous paint finishes. As a result, the building presents a tired and inconsistent appearance. The objective of this project is to enhance the visual appeal of the property through the application of a durable, high-quality finish with the use of self-cleaning products, that will provide long-term protection and reduce future maintenance requirements.
