The operation was previously run by the Council's Gingko Cafe Team, who relocated to the Council's New County Hall and Camborne offices.

The opportunity is offered by way of a concession and lease, and the winning bidders will need to be fully operational on site by: 10 January 2023. Funded by an PS11.7m grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and by Cornwall Council, Kresen Kernow is a state-of-the-art archive centre on the former Brewery site in Redruth. With its carefully restored facade, exhibition gallery, digitisation and preservation suites and 14 miles of shelving, it is an award-winning home for 1.5 million records covering 850 years of Cornwall's history - from medieval manuscripts to books, newspapers, glass plate negatives, maps, diaries, letters and much more. Approximately 30 staff and volunteers are based there, and before the pandemic closed the building in March 2020, over 10,000 people visited in its first six months of opening to view the collections and exhibitions and take part in activities. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/708ac70d-a117-4ae6-aae1-f7438354082a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 29 Nov 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 10 Jan 2023 - 9 Jan 2029 | | 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 | CORNWALL COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 55500000 - Canteen and catering services ## Release History - 3 Nov 2022 at 10:16 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/708ac70d-a117-4ae6-aae1-f7438354082a - 3 Nov 2022 at 10:06 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c817d0b-4c80-4b88-852b-668452ab2b38 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/708ac70d-a117-4ae6-aae1-f7438354082a 3rd November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c817d0b-4c80-4b88-852b-668452ab2b38 3rd November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cornwall.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
