The workspace is intended to support local people and aspiring entrepreneurs, offering business incubator facilities and various programs to benefit under-represented groups. The procurement method for this project is an open procedure, with a tender period ending on April 13, 2023. The contract period is set to start on August 1, 2023, and run until August 1, 2038. The project falls under the main procurement category of services. This tender opportunity by the Islington Council is well-suited for businesses interested in real estate services, social entrepreneurship, sustainability, and community engagement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organizations (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. Businesses with innovative ideas aligned with the project's net zero carbon vision and those willing to engage with local communities and deliver social value will find this tender particularly promising for business growth and impact. ## Notice The council is seeking to partner with a socially-focused operator to deliver Regent's Wharf as a sustainable affordable workspace that delivers Social Value across Islington. The space will act as a net zero carbon business incubator facility, which is for local people and aspiring entrepreneurs at the initial stages of developing a business idea, in training and/or developing their skills. This net zero carbon vision does not preclude the submission of innovative and high-quality bids for the workspace that meet the council's priorities. We will also consider bids where only a portion of the workspace is dedicated to the vision initially, on the condition that there are clear plans demonstrated with a timetable on how the vision will be developed following the initial term of operation. The operator will be expected to work with the council and its partners (including other affordable workspace operators) to deliver programmes and activities that benefit local people, businesses, and wider communities. Examples include employment and skills initiatives, early-stage business support, networking, events, and community engagement to connect local people to the affordable workspace programme - with a particular focus on under-represented groups. The council will play a key role to introduce the operator to teams, local stakeholders and networks to support the delivery of the spaces and associated social value outputs. We require the operator to take a relationship-based approach to deliver sustainable and meaningful relationships in the local area, and to harness its existing partners and networks to provide real opportunities for local people, businesses, and communities. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bffce70f-ae8d-4070-aad1-74bd38055e2a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Feb 2023 | | Submission deadline | 13 Apr 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2023 - 1 Aug 2038 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,827,575 | | 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 | ISLINGTON COUNCIL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North London | | Postcode | N7 7EP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Finsbury Park | | Westminster constituency | Islington North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 70 - Real estate services ### Codes - 70000000 - Real estate services ## Release History - 16 Feb 2023 at 16:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bffce70f-ae8d-4070-aad1-74bd38055e2a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bffce70f-ae8d-4070-aad1-74bd38055e2a 16th February 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://procontract.due-north.com Supplier expression of interest instructions ## Notice URLs - http://www.islington.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
