The procurement, classified under CPV code 45214100 for kindergarten buildings, follows an open procedure with a value of £180,000. The tender deadline is on May 24, 2024, with contract activities scheduled between July 22 and August 30, 2024. Suitable for small and medium enterprises, the tender is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a growth opportunity for construction companies interested in kindergarten building projects. Bidders with experience in refurbishment works and a capacity to undertake projects up to £180,000 are well-suited to compete. The grant-funded application requirement ensures prospective contractors that the project is subject to grant approval. The project aims to enhance facilities for children with special educational needs, providing a valuable social impact besides business growth potential. ## Notice Little Acorns Preschool has been located in our current building on the grounds of Penponds School since March 2004. During this time the preschool has become widely used by members of the local communities of Penponds and Barripper and those from further afield. The preschool has grown in popularity due to the fact that it is led by a qualified teacher and forest school leader and also the excellent provision for SEND children. Our partnership with parents is excellent and we have built up a good committee who assist in the running of the preschool. The building is over twenty years old and consequently, in spite of constant maintenance, is visibly deteriorating. Upon entering the preschool, you cannot escape the fact that the building is damp due to the odour. This also prevents preschool staff accessing all available spaces which in turn is putting a limit on how many spaces we can offer; we have the option to have 24 children per day, currently on our busiest session we have 16 children. It is the opinion of staff and committee members that the appearance of the building is incredibly off-putting to potential new families. Due to the limitation of space, we cannot provide a break out space for our children with ASD.tions. Our SENDCo comes highly recommended by outside agencies such as CDC staff whom she regularly works alongside, due to her qualifying with the NASEN accredited level 3 SENDCo award in September 2020. We do not want to continue to be in a position whereby we cannot fully meet the needs of children with SEND and in particular ASD, because we cannot provide them with a sensory / breakout space; the room we used in the past is simply too damp. Making improvements to the building would mean that we could offer more SEND spaces and in doing so, we would be able to employ new staff members / increase the hours of existing staff members. In 2022 we had a new roof installed. Unfortunately, the building is still damp and deteriorating in spite of this. We do not feel that the building will be usable for much longer if no improvements are made. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2af0314-1561-43c8-a472-f450be0c1378 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | 24 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Jul 2024 - 30 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £180,000 | | 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 | LITTLE ACORNS PLAYGROUP | | Locality | CAMBORNE | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR14 0QN | | 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 | Camborne West & Treswithian | | Westminster constituency | Camborne and Redruth | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45214100 - Construction work for kindergarten buildings ## Release History - 29 Apr 2024 at 22:16 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2af0314-1561-43c8-a472-f450be0c1378 - 29 Apr 2024 at 21:59 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2af0314-1561-43c8-a472-f450be0c1378 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2af0314-1561-43c8-a472-f450be0c1378 29th April 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/962c16fd-ba49-4145-af7f-b4c6e7781206 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8f755b9d-5925-4b3b-9982-6dc8cf562f49 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/45bb3ed4-a5c9-4527-aee7-c876363898ad - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/336126da-ce0f-4d0d-b131-6dd652104a87 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0c73a9bc-e75c-4e2c-a668-5b3c158004b1 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5d6839eb-dd06-4a4e-b6c8-af08ca30487e - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/16112f26-dcaf-4315-bf59-6379307c452c - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/68209590-8240-4300-87d8-26ed2e3dbb88 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
