The procurement process is at the planning stage with a deadline for responses set on 30th November 2023. This tender by Cambridgeshire County Council presents an opportunity for businesses in industries such as architectural design services, construction-related services, and library services to engage. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete in this framework procurement process. ## Notice We are looking for a way to procure the services we need as part of designing and fitting out a modern library. We want to allow for more engagement around our needs and outcomes of the design element, type of furniture and signage. Our current thought is to appoint bidder(s) to a framework which will cover multiple projects over a number of years. This could be bidders of multiple disciplines or single discipline bidders (i.e. separating out fit out, design and signage/graphics). Lots could then be called off for design, furniture, or wayfinding services (and/or a combination) to suit project identified or by cost of the project. We are asking the industry on how they think we could look to procure the services we need, while allowing for a flexible and adaptive approach for each individual local library centre. Deadline for responses is 30th November 2023 Send your feedback to andrew.stoter@cambridgeshire.gov.uk Additional information: If you are struggling or have any questions, you can contact the Cambridgeshire County Council's Procurement & Commercial team directly @ procurementandcommercial@cambridgeshire.gov.uk ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/597839a3-8d15-4cd8-bb61-547ea305ed02 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Nov 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 Dec 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | HUNTINGDON | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE28 4YE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Huntingdonshire | | Electoral ward | The Stukeleys | | Westminster constituency | Huntingdon | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 39150000 - Miscellaneous furniture and equipment - 71220000 - Architectural design services - 71500000 - Construction-related services - 92511000 - Library services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 13 Nov 2023 at 16:32 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/597839a3-8d15-4cd8-bb61-547ea305ed02 - 13 Nov 2023 at 15:52 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/597839a3-8d15-4cd8-bb61-547ea305ed02 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/597839a3-8d15-4cd8-bb61-547ea305ed02 13th November 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/26237537-4a63-4c92-b75d-9017f2e0f0e8 Briefing document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d26ebe5b-1943-48b7-8d73-c3826f6c455e Please use attached document to provide your feedback ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
