The aim is to identify potential future uses for the buildings, focusing on community assets and rejuvenating the town centre. Tenders must be submitted by midday on Wednesday 12 October 2022. The procurement stage is currently in the tender period, with a contract period set to begin on 15th November 2022. This tender opportunity is suitable for businesses offering architectural, construction, engineering, inspection, research and development, and consultancy services. The project is valued at £15,000 GBP and is open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Given the nature of the project, businesses with expertise in heritage buildings, economic analysis, sustainable travel, and climate emergency considerations are well-suited to compete. ## Notice Lostwithiel's Town Team wishes to invite tenders for consultancy services to commission a demand study/options appraisal to establish potential future uses for the Grade II* Listed Edgcumbe House & attached Grade II* Listed Taprell House. The Town team's overarching vision is that the buildings should remain community assets and that they will be utilised to provide something new and different. The project also seeks to identify the role these buildings might play in rejuvenating the town centre and improving Lostwithiel's destination status. The successful bidder will be required to agree the Demand Study methodology in conjunction with the Town Team, acknowledging that this will need to include a public consultation strategy. It is envisaged that the first stage of the community engagement will be led by the Town Team with input from the appointed consultant and that the second stage, with considered and viable options, will be led by the consultant with input from the Town Team. A transport and sustainable travel study for the town is also being commissioned by the Town Team to run in parallel with this study. The appointed Heritage Buildings consultant will need to liaise and be aware of how those proposals may impact upon, and be beneficial to, the future opportunity for this project. The study should include an examination of the economic context of Lostwithiel and consider projections for economic growth taking into account how the overall economy of the area could change in the future. The appointed consultant will also be expected to undertake a strategic level sift of the options to identify any that might be inconsistent with the Council's commitment to tackling the Climate Emergency.
