This project is classified under construction structures and materials, with an estimated budget of £90,000. The procurement process is currently at the planning stage, having published on 8th March 2021. Expressions of interest for the project are due by 19th April 2021, followed by the distribution of tender documents to selected bidders on 12th April 2021. The tender submission deadline is set for 23rd April 2021, and contract awards are expected in July 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for landscape and public realm design consultants, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in community engagement and heritage-enhancing projects. Businesses that specialise in urban planning, architectural services, and construction work should consider participating, as the project's focus on fostering community space could lead to future collaborations. This initiative not only provides a chance to contribute to the local community's development but also offers firms the potential to expand their portfolio through reputable projects backed by funding from Historic England. ## Notice Please note that this is a Prior Information Notice only and tender information is not yet available. A brief summary is provided in this document as a guide, but note that the full tendering detail will only be provided in the Invitation to Tender (ITT) Documentation. Mid Devon District Council (MDDC) has secured funding from Historic England to help regenerate Cullompton Town Centre through the High Streets Heritage Action Zone (HAZ) programme. The programme is a national project aiming to unlock the potential of high streets across England, fuelling economic, social and cultural recovery, with 68 high streets offered funding. Cullompton is one of only 10 successful High Streets in the South West region. The Higher Bullring Public Realm Enhancement project, delivered in partnership with Devon County Council, will seek to enhance the heritage setting of the Higher Bullring public realm while providing a flexible, extended community space for community events and cultural activities. Overview of the Design Work Expressions of interest are invited from suitably qualified and experienced landscape design/ public realm design consultants to undertake public realm enhancement design of the Higher Bullring in Cullompton town centre, on behalf of MDDC. The project will require extensive community engagement to deliver a flexible design that meets the current and future needs of the community including for events, cultural and market activity. It is important that the community feels actively engaged in the development of the scheme. The proposed enhancement work will also be sympathetic to and enhance the heritage setting of the Higher Bullring. It is anticipated that the public realm enhancement will focus around the War Memorial in the centre of the Higher Bullring area, which is currently the focus for the street market and monthly Farmers' Market. Design development would need to consider public realm enhancement around the War Memorial in the context of potential broader improvements to the entire Higher Bullring space, including car parking. In addition to landscape/ public realm design and community engagement, the consultant will also need to consider traffic management as this relates to the public realm enhancement design. Indicative Timeframes Indicative timeframes are set out below to provide a guidance only for parties wishing to submit an Expression of Interest. These would be confirmed in the full Invitation to Tender ITT documentation when released.
