The project is classified under the CPV code for "Miscellaneous building structures" and entails improving existing facilities to better serve a growing local population, which is expected to increase significantly by 2030. This tender is currently in the active planning stage, with a submission deadline set for 31st March 2021. The total contract value is £2,600,000, with a minimum value of £1,000,000, and the contract is expected to commence on 16th June 2021 and conclude by 7th November 2022. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in construction work, especially those that qualify as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can deliver building fittings and miscellaneous structures, as well as those providing design and construction services, will find this tender well-suited to their skills. It is an excellent chance for businesses to engage with a project that aims to enhance community services and infrastructure, aligning with a significant projected demand for improved communal spaces. ## Notice The existing collection of buildings at All Saints Church is made up of piecemeal agglomeration of structures that have undergone a prolonged period of adaptation and 'making do'. The current facilities are now at maximum capacity, and are no longer fit for purpose with a myriad of demands being put on the existing dated and sub-standard infrastructure. The church has therefore taken a huge step and embarked on a mission to completely remodel and improve the facilities it offers to the community, to serve the community. The mission of the church is also bolstered by the fact the population of the parish is set to increase significantly by 2030. This dramatic population increase within the parish and surrounding area so requires a greater variety of multi-use spaces if this established community support facility is able to cope with the increased demand on its services. The existing structures generally perform very poorly thermally, acoustically and spatially and are proving to be increasingly difficult to manage as the pull on the community support offered by the church increases year on year. The main Church structure dates from the 1980's and it is proposed to retain this structure whilst revisiting the rest of the site and ancillary accommodation to provide a purpose-built facility aligned with All Saints' contemporary and future needs. The proposed scheme seeks to provide an enhanced and upgraded place of worship and community hub on the site based on the retention of the main church space and the creation of a purpose built dedicated community meeting spaces, offices and storage facilities that better support the wide range of groups and people who use the facilities, both now and in the future.
