The gymnasium, established in 2012 as both a charity and a limited company, aims to convert derelict space into a multifunction room called the BOX. The project, valued at £135,000, falls under the construction industry category and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a tender deadline of 28th May 2024, and a contract period starting on 29th July 2024 and ending on 30th November 2024. The buyer, THE WALKER LINES GYMNASIUM, emphasises support for voluntary organisations benefiting the local community. This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction sector to engage in a community-focused project that caters to various activities benefiting the Bodmin area. Businesses involved in construction, renovation, and community development are well-suited to compete for this tender. As part of a grant-funded application, the procurement process is subject to grant approval, focusing on the most economically advantageous tender. THE WALKER LINES GYMNASIUM, the buying organisation, is actively seeking bids to complete the transformation of the SHED, creating opportunities for business growth for those catering to community and recreational infrastructure development. ## Notice Walker Lines Gymnasium in Bodmin, Cornwall was set up in 2012 as both a charity and a company limited by guarantee to purchase the Walker Lines Gymnasium from Bodmin Town Council to own and manage on behalf of the community. The building has since been rebranded as the SHED. The gym was built in 1941 by the British army as a recreational facility for Bodmin barracks. It had a distinguished military history which was recognised this year by a blue plaque. It was mothballed in 1956 and sold to the town council in 1962 since when it has operated as a community centre managed by its users. Over the years it suffered from a lack of investment and in 2013 it was sold to the users. The building covers an area of 10,000 sq ft and has a car park for 20 cars at the rear and is home to the boxing club, two rifle clubs, a dog training school, and various fitness groups, as well as a music recording studio and rehearsal space. The Trust is well supported and connected to local young people from less privileged socio economic backgrounds who are at risk of becoming offenders The Trust recently completed the external refurbishment of the building known as the SHED at a cost of PS300k and recaptured 1,000 sq ft of internal space that was previously derelict. The project now is to convert this space into a multifunction room (to be called the BOX) to be used by a host of new users for a multitude of activities. The users will in the main be voluntary organisations providing activities for the benefit of people living in and around Bodmin. 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/943db1e4-2473-4359-8555-b9372c150c36 | | 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 | 19 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | 28 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Jul 2024 - 30 Nov 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £135,000 | | 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 | THE WALKER LINES GYMNASIUM | | Locality | BODMIN | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL30 4LX | | 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 | St Teath & Tintagel | | Westminster constituency | North Cornwall | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 19 Apr 2024 at 20:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/943db1e4-2473-4359-8555-b9372c150c36 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/943db1e4-2473-4359-8555-b9372c150c36 19th April 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/67468543-6f97-4a7f-81e1-b38195828c8b - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bfbc95d6-51ae-4783-9510-4ffc66a220fe - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/894bd211-65d4-4272-ac21-0cfee72f4c4c - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8491b00b-6f96-4140-9f76-8a0b7823b340 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/077334eb-aed9-40ea-809e-d64bdfedc04f - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c25fa654-94e7-406c-a6d9-b4234ba90f18 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e1c6f829-1322-4a16-a3d4-40078732001a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
