## Summary

The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham is currently engaged in a tender process for the production of a design brief and outline business case for a heritage and cultural centre. This project aims to celebrate the area's industrial heritage while fostering new creative industries. The procurement is classified under architectural and related services with an additional focus on design consultancy and urban environmental planning. The deadline for submission of proposals is 12 pm on Friday, 22 September 2017, and work is expected to commence on 9 October 2017, concluding by 15 December 2017.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the architectural, design consultancy, and urban planning sectors to contribute to a project of regional significance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate, as the project aims not only to enhance local culture but also to provide affordable workspace, ultimately driving job creation and supporting community development. Interested bidders should ensure they align their proposals with the objectives outlined in the project's brief.

## Notice

Our recently adopted Borough Manifesto recognises the value of culture to boost our economy by creating jobs and supporting local people to realise their potential. This is an exciting but challenging commission that comprises the development of an outline business case and costed design plan for a new heritage and cultural centre of regional significance, on the site of the former Ford stamping plant. It will tell the story of the area's industrial heritage but also support the development of new sustainable creative industries in the Borough. The new centre will celebrate the industrial achievements of the area, act as a cultural centre, community resource and social facility within the proposed housing development in which it will be located, and as a visitor destination. It will also provide affordable workspace to encourage job creation and a sustainable future for new and existing cultural practitioners. For more detailed information please see the attached Consultants Brief The deadline for submissions is 12 pm (noon) Friday 22 September 2017
