## Summary

Colchester Borough Council has recently completed a procurement process for the project titled "Queens Street Bus Depot - Creative & Digital Grow on Space," aimed at developing a grow-on space at the former bus depot in Colchester Town Centre, which falls under the commercial property management services category. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 25 November 2021. The awarded contract commenced on 3 January 2022 and is scheduled to run until 31 December 2027, providing a clear timeline for interested parties.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the creative and digital sectors, particularly those specialising in property management and related services. With the potential for a long-term contract and the council's openness to engaging with various suppliers, companies that can provide innovative management solutions and support for the grow-on space initiative will find themselves well-positioned to compete.
