## Notice

Carefree Cornwall was established in 2005 by a group of 6 young people and one youth worker. We are a local Cornish charity seeking to help young people with care experience have good lives, through positive relationships, support at times of transition and through having a voice. We provide a direct service to over 400 care experienced young people per year. This tender is to improve the building we inhabit both socially and environmentally. We want the building to be a better resource for care leavers. We would like to improve the building's presentation to young people in and leaving care, our clients, through improved decor. In particular we want a specialist in addressing damp in order to make the basement and the first-floor right hand office. This will enable the basement to be a for storage for vulnerable care leavers whilst addressing the damp in the office space will be both preventative and enable us to redecorate the room to be more welcoming and functional in the knowledge the work will not be affected by the damp. Additionally, we want to undertake a range of minor works which will improve the overall ambience of the building and creation of Minor building work would create a smaller meeting room for counselling vulnerable care leavers. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
