        "description": "Following a competitive flexible procurement (see Tender Notice (2025/S 000-042820) for further details), Mid Sussex District Council has selected a cultural operator for the redevelopment and ongoing operation of the site known as 'Clair Hall'. The Council's ambition is to create a vibrant and inclusive creative cultural hub in the centre of Haywards Heath. The venue will be one that welcomes all communities and provides inspiration through film, art and performance. The cultural operator will support the Council during a design and development period with a view to ultimately leasing and operating the cultural facility. Note that the estimated total value of the contract listed in this Contract Award Notice is an estimate based on projections informed by market information and industry standards with an assumption of PS2.28m turnover per annum over an estimated lease period of 20 years. The actual value of the contract, in practice, is dependent on external factors but the procurement intends to cover the value generated over the 20-year term . Note that the date the Council's Cabinet approved the decision to award the contract was on 02 February 2026. Assessment summaries were circulated to bidders on 13 January 2026.",

The expected process of the procurement is as set out below, and Bidders should refer to 'Section 2: Participation Process' of the Invitation to Participate and the Invitation to Tender (as issued via the Council's Portal) for further detail. Interested parties are invited to submit a Participation Submission. The Council will evaluate Participation Submissions received in accordance with the participation criteria and methodology set out in 'Section 4: Participation Submission evaluation' of the Invitation to Participate. Invitation to Tender: subject to there being sufficient Bidders qualifying, the Council's intention is to invite between four (4) and six (6) Bidders. If there is a minimal scoring gap between Bidders four (4) and five (5) the Council reserves the right to invite 5 Bidders to tender; and if there is a minimal scoring gap between Bidders five (5) and six (6), the Council reserves the right to invite six (6) Bidders to tender. Following the shortlist, the Council will formally issue the Invitation to Tender to the shortlisted Bidders (the \"Tenderers\"). The Council intends to hold a number of meetings with the Tenderers to discuss their emerging proposals before issuing a call for Final Tenders. The Council reserves the right to introduce additional meetings or remove meetings throughout the procurement. Final Tenders received will be evaluated in accordance with the award criteria set out in the draft Invitation to Tender (as issued via the Council's Portal). Further detail on the award criteria will be set out in the updated Invitation to Tender issued at shortlisting. Following evaluation, and identification of the most advantageous tender, the Council intends to hold 'preferred tenderer' stage with the Tenderer who submitted the most advantageous tender prior to entry into contract so as to clarify and confirm commitments made and for limited post tender negotiation. The Council reserves the right to vary the procurement process set out above and in the procurement documents at any stage in the procurement. Please note that the 'contract start date' and 'award decision date' included within this Tender Notice are estimates and may be subject to change. The Council considered whether the opportunity was suitable for dividing into lots. It was determined that the opportunity was not suitable for dividing on the basis that: - dividing into lots could increase technical risk to delivery - the scheme requires a single cohesive approach in assisting the Council with the procurement of a Developer and the ultimate operation of the venue (and multiple operators could undermine this) - the size / scale of the site does not require multiple operators - it could make the contract disproportionately expensive to manage"
