The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period concludes on 11 December 2020. The estimated value of the contract is £10,000, and it aims to address the shortage of creative workspace necessary for supporting local arts and cultural organisations. The contract is expected to commence on 4 January 2021 and run until 31 March 2021, with deliveries to take place in the East of England, United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in planning and policy consultation, particularly those with expertise in the creative sector and knowledge of the local area. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to submit proposals, as the councils are seeking experienced consultants to conduct in-depth analyses that could help shape the future of creative workspaces in the region. Engaging in this tender could enable businesses to expand their portfolios and contribute to the cultural vibrancy of Greater Cambridge. ## Notice Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council have identified the cultural and creative industries as an area of local economic growth. Several recent studies, engagement sessions and consultations have been conducted that highlight a shortage of creative workspace in Greater Cambridge required to support Greater Cambridge's thriving community of arts and cultural organisations, venues, creative businesses and start-ups, freelancers and groups. Unlike many other cities, Greater Cambridge does not benefit from having a supply of post-industrial buildings that can be converted to suit the needs of creative businesses. Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council are seeking a consultant to provide a detailed report that quantifies the creative workspace shortage and potential future needs, and the spatial, practical, and technical requirements for different types of workspace used by the cultural and creative industries. The two Councils are seeking a contractor with a good level of knowledge of planning and policy, the Greater Cambridge area, the different types and usages of creative workspace, and practical experience of identifying the requirements of such spaces. Proposals are now invited from suitably experienced consultants. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38344152-0010-4531-bdd8-8377c5dddb1c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Nov 2020 | | Submission deadline | 11 Dec 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jan 2021 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000 | | 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 | CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB2 3QJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Market | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 23 Nov 2020 at 10:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38344152-0010-4531-bdd8-8377c5dddb1c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38344152-0010-4531-bdd8-8377c5dddb1c 23rd November 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://procontract.due-north.com E-tendering portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
