This tender, identified as "GB-Shrewsbury: DMNV 006", is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by noon on 7th February 2019. The contract is expected to run from November 2019 to March 2020, aiming for completion ahead of the Easter holiday season. The initiative is part of a broader vision to enhance the area as a key destination for outdoor recreation in Northern Shropshire. This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) focused on construction and design, to showcase innovative and child-friendly designs. Companies with expertise in building leisure facilities and engaging community spaces will be well-suited to compete, as the project aims to create attractive recreational opportunities and enhance visitor experiences at the country park. ## Notice NOTE: This notice was updated on 05 February 2019 for the following reason: Amendment to closing date - deadline is now noon Monday 18th February 2019(Shropshire Council have an aspiration to make the Mere at Ellesmere one of the key visitor destinations in Northern Shropshire. Our aim is to develop and promote The Mere at Ellesmere Country Park as 'The' Outdoor Recreation Centre of Shropshire's Lake District, by creating more outdoor recreational opportunities for visitors; delivering an all year-round family visitor/tourist destination at the Mere; increasing usage out of the main spring and summer seasons. The objective of this project is to design a cafe/space. The cafe will be a wooden structure and should be inspired with children in mind as the main end user and a place where adults can enjoy and engage in children's play and development. We would welcome theme-based designs that have children's adventure and the spirit of Mere at heart. The location of the new cafe will be set alongside an existing adventure play area and visitor toilets which will both be improved as part of this overall project. The contract used for this project will be the JCT Design and Build 2016 Form of Contact and will be based on the Single Stage route. The project has a maximum budget of PS450,000. We are seeking tenders that will deliver an innovative and amazing design, as well as value for money. The project is scheduled to run from November 2019 to March 2020 and needs to be ready to open for the busy Easter period. The final date for Tender submissions is 12 noon Thursday 7th February 2019. The delay between receiving tenders and awarding contract is to allow the completion of the match funding application process which requires the inclusion of the tender submission and planning approval.) 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/35307092-65bf-4c7b-b945-abad1e6b64b8 | | 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 | 5 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 7 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2019 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | 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 | SHROPSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | SHREWSBURY | | Post town | Shrewsbury | | Postcode | SY2 6ND | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG22 Shropshire | | Local authority | Shropshire | | Electoral ward | Abbey | | Westminster constituency | Shrewsbury | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45212000 - Construction work for buildings relating to leisure, sports, culture, lodging and restaurants ## Release History - 5 Feb 2019 at 13:32 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35307092-65bf-4c7b-b945-abad1e6b64b8 - 21 Dec 2018 at 13:35 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35307092-65bf-4c7b-b945-abad1e6b64b8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35307092-65bf-4c7b-b945-abad1e6b64b8 5th February 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Shrewsbury:-DMNV-006---Building-a-new-Caf%C3%A9-and-Information-Centre-at-the-Mere-at-Ellesmere-Country-Park/S239SW7DP3 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
