Lymington and Pennington Town Council is seeking to appoint one suitably experienced Heritage Consultant to undertake a comprehensive heritage review of the Lymington Sea Water Baths as part of a National Lottery Heritage Fund supported feasibility and development project.
The Lymington Sea Water Baths were established in 1833 and are among the earliest surviving open-air seawater bathing facilities in the United Kingdom. The site has significant architectural, cultural and social heritage value, but is at risk because of structural deterioration, historic alterations and continued exposure to the marine environment.
The consultant will provide an authoritative assessment of the historical development, architectural features, surviving fabric, cultural value and heritage significance of the site. The work will inform architectural and engineering design up to RIBA Stage 2, community engagement, interpretation planning, conservation decision making and the evidence base for future capital funding applications.
The commission will include:
The required deliverables are expected to include:
A heritage scoping note and initial issues log.

Guidance identifying heritage constraints, sensitivities and opportunities.
Interpretation themes, stories and accessible heritage content for use in engagement activities and future interpretation.
A concise summary suitable for inclusion in National Lottery Heritage Fund reporting, evaluation and future funding submissions.
All reports and supporting materials must be clearly written, accessible, appropriately illustrated and suitable for use by the Council, its professional advisers, community stakeholders and the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Research sources and supporting evidence must be clearly referenced.
The consultant will be expected to attend project meetings and workshops as reasonably required, provide timely advice during design development and coordinate their work with the wider project programme.
The contract is for one Heritage Consultant commission with a maximum available budget of £10,000 excluding VAT. The fee must include all professional time, research, meetings, travel, expenses and preparation of the required deliverables.
The tender is expected to be awarded and mobilised in late September 2026. The consultant must programme the work to support the wider feasibility project and the development of the RIBA Stage 2 proposals. All final outputs, approvals and contributions to the Phase 1 evaluation must be completed no later than 31 August 2027.
