This initiative focuses on the welfare services for children and young people in Crewe, England. The engagement period concludes on 30th September 2020, and the Council is exploring options for partnership agreements to enhance youth services, with an estimated capital investment of £8 million and ongoing revenue of £1 million per annum. This procurement is currently at the planning stage, with intentions to establish a partnership agreement by November 2020, although no commitment to procure has been made at this time. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for charitable organisations and small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in youth services and community development. Businesses with expertise in constructing and managing multi-activity facilities, such as sports complexes and creative arts centres, would be particularly well-suited to engage in this process. The collaboration aims to innovate youth facilities that meet the evolving needs of young people, thus fostering further community relationships and potential revenue through government grants and philanthropic contributions. ## Notice The Council is exploring the possibility of significantly investing in the improvement of youth services and facilities for children and young people in Cheshire East. In order to be innovative, aspirational and sustainable in the facilities we offer our young people in Crewe we propose a Partnership Agreement that will enable the Council and partners to create a high quality new build facility that supports young people to develop new skills and socialise in a safe, positive and accessible environment. Early estimates of the total capital funding envelope required is PS8m and ongoing revenue of PS1m pa. We are seeking a partner charitable organisation who is eligible to apply for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport's (DCMS) Youth Investment Fund and will lead the bid process as a first step to establishing a Youth Zone / Youth Facility. The funding required to build and run the Youth Zone / Youth facility will be a blend of government grant, Council funding and fundraising via the business sector, high net worth individuals and philanthropy. The Council will make land available on a long lease to the charity at a peppercorn rent in order to support the development. The Council is proposing to develop a Youth Zone / Youth Facility that provides large-scale multi-activity facilities which typically include a multi-use 3G pitch, indoor sports hall, climbing wall, gym, music, dance, performing and creative arts facilities and cafe, along with flexible spaces that can respond to young people's changing needs and preferences. The facility will open weekday evenings, all through the weekend and all day through school holidays. Local young people will be involved in the naming, branding and interior design of the new facility from the very start. The background document will be available on The Chest E-Tendering Portal - Project ID DN497389.
