Notice Information

Notice Title

Conversion of Unit 1E to a multi-use education space Building Works

Notice Description

This is an additional week for the tender SOFEA/1E/02 to allow for scrutiny of new drawings. SOFEA is an innovative education and training organisation with a strong track record in enabling disadvantaged young people to (re)engage with learning, skills development and work. Whilst young people are referred to us by schools and colleges, social services, CAMHS and the police, many are at significant risk of becoming long-term NEET and falling into a life of poor qualifications, low skills, insecure work or unemployment. Whilst Covid-19 has disproportionately impacted younger people, those with poorer qualifications and lower skilled jobs SOFEA is a named partner in Oxfordshire's Economic Recovery Plan and is providing 26 Kickstart apprenticeships over the next 12 months in addition to its own Government funded work programmes. Based in Didcot, SOFEA runs FareShare food redistribution operations and our skills development and employability training programmes are provided within the functioning warehouse, providing various qualifications including warehouse management, forklift driving and logistics. Having recently expanded the warehouse capacity SOFEA is about to reconfigure our existing warehouse and offices into a multi-use education space. This will include the refurbishment of our training rooms and technology refurbishment workshop to ensure more young people are able to achieve the qualifications, work experience, confidence and self-esteem to lift them out of a life of disadvantage and become positive and productive members of society and contributors to the local economy. This procurement is for the building works element of the conversion. Please return an electronic copy of your Bid including any supporting material by e-mail to: projects@sofea.uk.com
