The tender is part of the wider Colchester Northern Gateway Development and aims to either demolish the existing clubhouse building of Colchester Rugby Club or redevelop it into a sustainable community centre. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 16 April 2021. The project has a budget between £50,000 and £100,000, and is classified under the industry category of architectural design services (CPV code 71220000). The contract period is scheduled to commence on 10 May 2021 and conclude on 5 December 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for small or medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in architecture and sustainable design solutions. Businesses with expertise in creating community-focused spaces that emphasise environmental considerations and carbon reduction strategies will be particularly well-suited for this project. By engaging in this procurement process, successful bidders could contribute to enhancing local community infrastructure and potentially secure a position in future developments within the Colchester area. ## Notice Colchester Amphora Trading, on behalf of Colchester Borough Council are seeking Architectural Design Services for a new community facility in Highwoods. Situated on Mill Road in North Colchester, we are working with the Diocese of Chelmsford, St Luke's Church, Myland Community Council and appointed trustees to develop a welcoming, inclusive community space for local people. As part of the wider Colchester Northern Gateway Development, Colchester Rugby Club will move to the new Colchester Sports Park in 2021. Their old site will then be redeveloped to include new housing, healthcare provision and a village green bordering Mill Road. The forthcoming pedestrian boulevard The Walk will run alongside the site providing excellent walking and cycling access from further afield and the new community facility has the potential to be a building of significance in the area. Adjacent to the site is also a new 'Village Green' providing open space. Due to the move the former clubhouse building will be left empty. However, it is in poor condition and expensive to maintain. Therefore, we would like to explore options and recommendations to either: a) Demolish the existing building and create a new sustainable space from scratch - ideally using any materials than can be salvaged Or b) Redevelop the existing rugby clubhouse building into an attractive, sustainable community centre We would like there to be a strong focus on environmental considerations and carbon emissions in line with the Council's ambition to be zero carbon by 2030. Further details are available within the tender pack. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5377d99-f347-4163-b270-a4a06372eee7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 16 Apr 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 May 2021 - 5 Dec 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | COLCHESTER BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | COLCHESTER | | Post town | Colchester | | Postcode | CO3 3WG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH34 Essex Haven Gateway | | Local authority | Colchester | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Colchester | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71220000 - Architectural design services ## Release History - 18 Mar 2021 at 16:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5377d99-f347-4163-b270-a4a06372eee7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5377d99-f347-4163-b270-a4a06372eee7 18th March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Colchester:-Architectural-Design-Services-for-Mill-Road/ZP4DRA69RX Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
