## Summary

The Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council has completed the Astley Centre Fit-Out Project tender, which focuses on refurbishment of run-down buildings for a themed centre honouring local hero Philip Astley. The project involves permanent and temporary exhibits, educational talks, and outreach programs in Newcastle-under-Lyme, West Midlands, United Kingdom. The tender value is 117,236 GBP, with an open procurement method and a tender deadline of 2nd October 2023. The contract period spans from 6th November 2023 to 20th December 2023.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the construction, marketing, and design services sectors to participate. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage as suitable bidders. Interested parties will have to align their offerings with the project's emphasis on cultural celebration and engagement with various community groups. The collaboration will not only revitalise a dilapidated property but also contribute to the celebration of Philip Astley's circus legacy in the region.

## Notice

The Borough Council is working with an innovative designer on an interim venue to be used to generate awareness of a local Newcastle-under-Lyme hero Philip Astley and celebrate his life and contribution to the modern day circus. The centre is intended to appeal to everyone, from young children to older adults. It will be used by the general public, school groups, community groups and for education and outreach. The centre will display permanent exhibits relating to Philip Astley, his contribution to circus and also celebrate the wider circus landscape. It will display various temporary exhibits over the year, which may include performance elements. It will be a multi use centre, accommodating educational talks, screenings, outreach programmes and be available for other uses generating income for the Borough Council. The venue identified for the interim use is 23-25 Merrial Street, Newcastle-under-Lyme, ST5 2AD which is currently a dilapidated property. Refurbishment of this property has commenced by other parties. This will enable the themed fit-out to follow. The successful bidder will have full access to all refurbishment drawings. They will be able to liaise with the refurbishment design team and contractor during the refurbishment period.
