## Summary

The Burgess Hill Town Council is currently seeking proposals for their ambitious project, the "Tender: Burgess Hill Community Centre Fundraiser". This initiative, located in Burgess Hill, England, aims to raise between £6 million and £8 million to construct a new community centre that includes a performance space. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 12 January 2018. Interested parties will need to provide a fixed price for a feasibility study to raise £3 million and outline a plan for ongoing fundraising activities. This tender falls under the category of business and management consultancy services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in consultancy and fundraising. Professional fundraisers or specialist fundraising organisations that have experience in successfully raising substantial amounts for similar projects would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, those who can provide governance structure advice related to fund management and venue operation may find this procurement particularly relevant. Engaging in this project not only provides a chance to contribute to community development but also to expand one's portfolio in the public sector contracting space.

## Notice

The Town Council has embarked upon an ambitious project to build a new community centre incorporating a performance space. The cost of this space is estimated to be between PS6 million and PS8 million. PS5 million will be raised through an increase to the precept with the balance being covered by grants (including Section 106 funding) and a community fundraising campaign. The Council seeks proposals from professional fundraisers or specialist fundraising organisations to raise funds for this project, which is presently at RIBA stage 1. The Council is keen to progress the project as quickly as possible and would like to split the tender into two phases: 1. Determine the feasibility of raising up to PS3 million and indicate how long this would take. We invite a tender for a fixed price to produce a plan to direct this process with a Fundraising Group. 2. We invite you to tender to work with the Fundraising Group to raise said amount. Information on what the new centre might look like can be viewed at http://www.burgesshill.gov.uk/sites/www.burgesshill.gov.uk/files/Venue_for_Burgess_Hill_Consultation_Workshop.pdf In addition, professional advice on what would be the most effective governance structure for the collection and distribution of funds, together with the longer-term management of the venue is sought as part of the bid. Implications associated with any fundraising source on the long term management of the venue need to be identified where appropriate. Tenders should provide evidence of your having successfully raised large sums for similar projects and provide a modus operandi to be followed.
