## Summary

Knowsley Council is seeking to let Cockpit House in Prescot, England, for a 25-year term, aimed at fostering creative and maker industries. This procurement process, currently in the tender stage, has an end date for submissions set for 1 November 2021. The total value of the contract is £300,000, and the procurement method used is an open procedure, with construction work classified under the main procurement category.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and facility management, particularly those that can adapt and alter spaces for creative uses. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate in this open tender, which will involve both the capital phase of construction and the ongoing operation of the premises. Businesses with expertise in transforming properties for creative industries will particularly benefit from this contract, providing a long-term partnership with the council.

## Notice

Knowsley Council are looking to let Cockpit House to a tenant for a period of 25 years as a space for creative and maker industries. However, there are two distinct phases to any agreement we would enter: firstly the converting and altering Cockpit House to its new use ('the capital phase') and secondly the routine year-to-year operation and management of Cockpit House after construction works complete ('the revenue phase').
