The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 23 August 2019. This opportunity falls under the services category, specifically related to feasibility studies and advisory services. Interested parties should note that the contract period is expected to commence on 18 October 2019 and conclude by 28 February 2020, with the specified delivery location in the East of England. This tender represents a significant opportunity for small to medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with expertise in feasibility studies, architectural design, or event management services. Firms that specialise in community engagement, infrastructure planning, and cost-effective project delivery would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The successful bidder will play a vital role in shaping a facility that could cater to various community and business events, thus potentially generating further economic opportunities in the area. ## Notice Castle Point Borough Council ("the Council") is looking to appoint a professional team of specialist advisors to work alongside officers and members, to explore what kind of service offer would be viable on the Paddocks site ("the Paddocks") on Canvey Island. The site available is identified edged red on the attached plan. Specifically, the Council is seeking professional advice to establish: (1) Whether there is sufficient latent demand within a realistic catchment area to support the provision of a multi-functional facility capable of accommodating larger entertainment events, catering functions, craft fairs, exhibitions as well as community groups/private hirers, operating at a cost neutral or surplus position; and (2)If so, to recommend a suitable venue design in terms of size, capacity and associated infrastructure considerations e.g. car parking, mindful that the final build will need to be cost and energy efficient. This information will in due course inform a brief for the design of a new facility. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/204b0541-b968-44d6-ac20-cc181d216bf5 | | 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 | 11 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | 23 Aug 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Oct 2019 - 28 Feb 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | 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 | CASTLE POINT BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BENFLEET | | Post town | Southend-on-Sea | | Postcode | SS7 1TF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH37 Essex Thames Gateway | | Local authority | Castle Point | | Electoral ward | Thundersley South | | Westminster constituency | Castle Point | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71241000 - Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis ## Release History - 11 Jul 2019 at 09:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/204b0541-b968-44d6-ac20-cc181d216bf5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/204b0541-b968-44d6-ac20-cc181d216bf5 11th July 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-BENFLEET:-Provision-of-Professional-advice---new-community-events-facility/936KZ795X4 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
