This initiative falls within the works category of public procurement, and the opportunity was officially published on 2nd November 2020. The procurement method is open, and the tender period closed on 20th November 2020. The contract will commence on 7th December 2020 and is expected to conclude by 26th February 2021. The total value of the project is set at £30,000, with a minimum requirement of £25,000 for bidders. The project is located in the East of England, specifically within the region of Cambridgeshire. This project offers significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand into the community services sector, particularly those specialising in vehicle conversion and design for social purposes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in creating adaptable spaces or providing community outreach solutions are particularly well-suited to compete. Contractors who can demonstrate innovative, functional, and cost-effective design solutions for multi-purpose vehicles will find this project aligns well with their capabilities, allowing them to engage with the local community and enhance public services. ## Notice We are seeking a Contractor to adapt a mobile library vehicle into a travelling community space that can be used to deliver community outreach activities. The vehicle is currently fitted with a range of shelving and book display towers, a main desk and a small seating bench. We would like to remove these and create a fresh, new multi-functional space that can be used for a variety of activities. This is a pilot project, using an existing CCC vehicle, to test the benefit of taking services directly into communities. Therefore, to ensure best value, the design must be attractive and functional but also economical.Interested parties should submit a draft design for a multi-functional space that includes, but is not limited to, the following functional elements: Internal space As a minimum the internal space would have: Areas for displaying posters, leaflets and other information. Space for up to 6 people*, or 5 people and 1 wheelchair user, to sit and work on laptops. This could be achieved via fitted seating and tables or moveable furniture with appropriate storage. Our preference is for free-standing furniture that can be used both inside and outside the vehicle, with appropriate storage space, but we are open to alternatives. Storage to safely secure up to 10 laptops and other workshop equipment. Hot water making facilities and a small fridge. The vehicle is already fitted with auxiliary batteries and power sockets. The vehicle is fitted with a stair lift and the internal space must accessible for wheelchair users. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bc4ee5b-29b7-4319-bdf2-d5e68b58706b | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Jan 2021 | | Submission deadline | 20 Nov 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 1 Dec 2020 | | Contract period | 7 Dec 2020 - 1 Apr 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £20,848 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB3 0AP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MULTI VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34144760 - Mobile library vehicles ## Release History - 13 Jan 2021 at 15:01 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bc4ee5b-29b7-4319-bdf2-d5e68b58706b - 2 Nov 2020 at 16:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e54ff955-5778-4e0d-9d7b-e5a45ede46e1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bc4ee5b-29b7-4319-bdf2-d5e68b58706b 13th January 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e54ff955-5778-4e0d-9d7b-e5a45ede46e1 2nd November 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.lgss.co.uk/about/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
