## Summary

The Cambridge City Council is currently in the planning stage of the "Cambridge City Centre Recovery Scheme," which is focused on specialty design services and the installation of street furniture in various locations around Cambridge, UK. The initial call for expressions of interest was published on 4th March 2022, with a deadline for submissions set at midday on 15th March 2022. Interested parties are invited to provide information regarding their experience in delivering similar projects, with a total budget estimated at £20,000 and an expectation for installations to be completed by June/July 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) in the design and installation sectors. Businesses that have experience in creating outdoor furniture or parklet designs would be particularly well-suited to compete. By participating in this project, organisations can not only contribute to the revitalisation of Cambridge City Centre following the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic but also enhance their portfolios through successful collaboration with the council.

## Notice

This expression of interest is intended to ascertain the size of the market place and the availability of suitable providers. This is NOT currently a tender opportunity. If there is significant interest an opportunity may be issued. The Cambridge City Centre Recovery Scheme, instigated as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, is seeking expressions of interest to fabricate streetscape furniture elements along the following themes. 1. Peas Hill, Cambridge, adjacent Guild Hall and St Edward King & Martyr Church: compostable recycling, tree planters, performance area with raked seating, and modular open parklet style seating with greening elements. 2. Fitzroy St, adjacent Poundland: modular open parklet style seating and greening elements (similar to that proposed for Location 1). 3. King St, adjacent Cambridge Brewhouse: highway parklet cafe terrace dedicated to individual business. If you are interested and/or able to demonstrate experience in providing similar requirements/projects, please provide a short explanation of the work you have previously undertaken. This may be illustrated by no more than one or two photographs. This should be submitted via the portal and must be received no later than Midday 15th March 2022. This EOI/notice should be considered a call for competition and if you do not state your qualified interest at this point you could be excluded from the project. The overall budget for this project is expected to be approx. PS20,000 and has a short deadline for the requirements to be installed of June/July 2022 latest.
