Default Engine Overhaul Workshop Recommendations

My XFRS needs a new timing chain, but I also want to get a bunch of other work done while we're at it:

Car is a 2014 Jaguar XFRS, with a 5L supercharged V8, AJ133 engine.
  • Replace timing chain (OEM)
  • Replace guide rails (stainless steel cap OEM)
  • Replace tensioners (updated OEM)
  • Check component gear teeth attached to timing chain for wear
  • Replace O2 sensors (particularly the two closest to engine)
  • Replace water pump (metal)
  • Replace coolant hoses (as required)
  • Replace coolant pipes to metal OEM
  • Replace spark plugs (iridium)
  • Replace injectors (quality OE)
  • Replace supercharger coupler (OEM)
  • Check supercharger bearings, shaft for any damage
  • Supercharger oil replace
  • Gearbox service (replace sump/filter and replace oil)
  • Replace engine oil filter, and flush with 0w-20
  • Check vacuum pipes/hoses
  • Anything else that comes up during all this work

I can get the car towed anywhere between Portsmouth to Liverpool.
Any recommendations where I should get this work done?
