Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Cheshire West and Chester Council is currently conducting a procurement process for the "Cheshire Archives and Local Studies" project, which belongs to the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services industry. This open tender aims to secure consultancy services to support the submission of a First Round Heritage Lottery Fund grant application, with a total project value of £14,050,000. The tender period concludes on 8th January 2018, and the resulting contract will commence on 1st February 2018, lasting until 31st January 2024. The work will take place primarily in Chester and Crewe in the North West region of the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in consultancy services related to heritage projects, such as activity planning, interpretation and exhibition design, business planning, external bid writing, and architectural design. Companies capable of delivering these services will be well-positioned to compete for this contract, which supports the development of new facilities dedicated to preserving and showcasing Cheshire’s history. Engaging in this tender can not only enhance service delivery for public archives but also enable businesses to expand their portfolio in the cultural heritage sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Cheshire Archives and Local Studies

Notice Description

Cheshire Archives and Local Studies identifies, collects and cares for archives and publications that are the evidence of Cheshire's communities lives past and present. We deliver access for all of our collections for information, learning and enjoyment to make sure archives survive so that future generations will be able to do the same. Cheshire Archives and Local Studies is headquartered at the Cheshire Record Office in Chester, where it has been based since 1985. The building is no longer fit-for-purpose as storage conditions and space do not meet current standards and accommodation for staff, volunteers and public falls below current expectations. Increasingly its suitability is being questioned on health and safety grounds. Elected members in both authorities have approved the development of a delivery model for the service which sees two new History Centres being developed as bases for the service. One will be a 'headquarters' building in Chester and the second facility will be in Crewe. Sites were allocated to the project in September 2017 and both facilities will be new build. Funding has been secured to develop a First Round Heritage Lottery Fund grant application around this delivery model. It is anticipated that a HLF grant application will be in the region of PS4 million and to this end a First Round submission is expected be submitted in early 2018. The Councils are therefore seeking a range of consultancy services to support the preparation of this application, namely: - Activity Planning - Interpretation and Exhibition - Business Planning - External bid writing support - A Design Team
