The procurement is currently in the tendering stage, with a closing date for submissions set for 30 April 2022. The total estimated value of the project is £10,000, and it falls under the industry categories of builders' joinery, builders' carpentry, and construction work. Interested contractors are required to have relevant insurances and references for similar works and are encouraged to visit the premises before submitting their quotations. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in construction and accessibility improvements. By addressing essential enhancements such as improved entrance accessibility and remodelled facilities, involved contractors can significantly contribute to the community's needs while growing their business portfolio. Collaboration among local contractors is also encouraged, allowing for a variety of competencies to be showcased in the tender process. ## Notice Invitation to tender Sandgate Parish Council currently holds a long lease for the public library and parish office premises in Sandgate High Street. Improvement of access to the building for all is important to the Parish Council. This includes extending the use of the premises for more community activities and events. We have a number of issues we wish to resolve. 1. Currently the building's entrance doorway is unwelcoming and difficult to use for those in and with buggies, prams, wheelchairs and mobility issues. We are seeking to improve that by repositioning and replacing the front door, lighting and door opening mechanism. 2. The only toilet in the building is currently not for public use and is inaccessible for those with mobility issues. The toilet and its access needs to be remodelled to make it accessible to all. 3. In addition, we have limited storage in the library. it is proposed that a large built in secure storage area is installed to the rear of the library to extend along the back wall with shelving and sliding doors. We would be pleased to receive quotations for these works from local suppliers. We would prefer quotations for all 3 of the works above, but are happy to consider options with a variety of local contractors working together. Please arrange an appointment to come and view the proposed works before tending a quotation. Contractors will have to have all relevant insurances and references for similar works.
