This project seeks to create an accessible community space within a proposed location at the former St Leonard's Church, a Grade II listed property in Newton Abbot, South West England. The tender is at the active stage, initiated under an open procurement procedure, with key deadlines including the submission of intent to tender by 5pm on 8th September and final tender submissions due by 5pm on 15th September 2017. The anticipated contract period will start on 2nd October 2017 and conclude on 31st December 2019. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in museum design and community-focused projects. Firms capable of providing innovative design solutions that enhance heritage interpretation while creating practical community space would be particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given their flexibility and capability to deliver tailored services that align with the project's vision of fostering a welcoming environment for the public. ## Notice In its current location, Newton Abbot Town Council and Museum face significant challenges which results in a lower use of the facility. The proposed location of the former St Leonard's Church, a Grade II listed building will address these issues and the initial feasibility study and outline drawings demonstrate that the building can accommodate the needs. The vision of 'Newton's Place' is to create an accessible community space that celebrates heritage, town and community and challenges pre-conceived ideas of a museum and Town Council by operating in one welcoming environment. The new dedicated museum space on the ground floor is approximately 2.5 times larger than the existing museum at 274m2, and we will have opportunities for additional displays throughout the whole building. This will include the community rooms which will be located on the upper floor, installed as part of the building conversion works, plus other communal areas. The Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded a first round pass to fund the development. The Council requires the professional services of a Museum Designer to take the project through the development and delivery phase. The tender documents are also available for download at http://www.newtonabbot-tc.gov.uk/ Key deadlines for the tender process are as follows: - Confirmation of intent to tender by 5pm on Friday 8th September - Any questions to be submitted by 5pm on Thursday 14th September - Tender submission by 5pm, Friday 15th September All applicants must complete the Supplier Questionnaire and submit this with their proposal. Please note that any tenders received after this date cannot be considered ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a79fbe7a-36a7-4856-8d8e-46493d4a24c9 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Sep 2017 | | Submission deadline | 15 Sep 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Oct 2017 - 31 Dec 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NEWTON ABBOT TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | NEWTON ABBOT | | Post town | Torquay | | Postcode | TQ12 2HN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK43 Devon CC | | Local authority | Teignbridge | | Electoral ward | Bushell | | Westminster constituency | Newton Abbot | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92521000 - Museum services ## Release History - 7 Sep 2017 at 14:53 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a79fbe7a-36a7-4856-8d8e-46493d4a24c9 - 23 Aug 2017 at 16:27 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a79fbe7a-36a7-4856-8d8e-46493d4a24c9 - 15 Aug 2017 at 11:41 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a79fbe7a-36a7-4856-8d8e-46493d4a24c9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a79fbe7a-36a7-4856-8d8e-46493d4a24c9 7th September 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6632d3e1-bf9f-4bc9-b206-9cda6826b4af Museum Tender Brief - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3178abf3-8fc9-41bf-8628-d01da4b61b72 Supplier Questionnaire - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/75157bad-a788-4f3b-9821-3afacb87abc2 Museum Tender Instructions and Information - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d083d7b4-1fea-4ec2-b52d-228fb5760c4a Procurement Strategy - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/217a8b5d-f0c0-447f-b7f1-6084f66e69a1 Outline Drawings - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e6ce1e85-93a0-4bfa-9a78-ca48e2af1fb3 Outline Drawings - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/07d1dfbc-9225-45bd-b6d7-e47122f80ccc Outline Drawings - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e71c2546-dec2-41de-b082-678acf779e9c Outline Drawings - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/759330f9-5803-4b82-807c-abf41d85c014 Outline Drawings - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2ca200b9-dd7f-480b-8135-894baef774ac Outline drawings - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3d051cd2-154f-4581-80b6-5bab001ab17e Questions and Answers - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0e059400-2f4c-4f0f-8e1c-eef519861da0 ## Notice URLs - http://www.newtonabbot-tc.gov.uk - http://www.newtonabbot-tc.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
