This project falls under the category of real estate services and is part of the Council’s initiative to develop a coworking space and innovation hub, funded by a successful bid from the Future High Street Fund. The Council is currently in the planning stage, with market engagement anticipated, and a deadline for questionnaire submissions set for 12:00 noon on 19th November 2021. Interested parties are encouraged to participate in the consultation to inform the procurement process. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in flexible workspace operations, including co-working space management, architectural and engineering services, and business consultancy. Companies with proven experience in creating and managing innovation hubs or coworking environments will find this opportunity particularly suited to their expertise. Those that can respond swiftly to the consultation and provide insights into delivery models may enhance their chances of being selected as the suitable operator for this development, contributing to business growth in the Crewe area. ## Notice Cheshire East is looking to develop a coworking space/innovation hub within the heart of Crewe. The development of this flexible workspace project will be funded by the Council's successful Future High Street Fund bid; and will help plug the gap on the lack of office accommodation currently within central Crewe. Both a feasibility study and demand assessment have recently been completed for the proposals. Further market engagement and testing is now required with potential operators across the four identified feasibility options. The Council wishes to consult with suitably experienced organisations that have a proven track record in operating flexible workspaces. The purposes of this consultation are to seek the views of market participants and to help the Council in the procurement of a suitable operator. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Before finalising the procurement procedure, the Council is seeking the views of potential market participants through responses to the questions in the questionnaire at Appendix 9 The views of the responding organisations will be carefully considered by the Council in finalising the choice of delivery model and development of the procurement procedure.
