This project, categorised under architectural design services (CPV code 71220000), is currently at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 26th August 2022. The successful team will be responsible for delivering services from RIBA stages 2 to 7 over a contract period of approximately 720 days, as part of a broader initiative funded by nearly £40 million from the Levelling Up Fund aimed at promoting local heritage and community engagement. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in conservation architecture and heritage services, particularly those with experience in multidisciplinary design. Companies that can demonstrate a strong track record in similar projects and have the capability to manage complex renovation works will be well-positioned to submit competitive bids. Interested parties must register on Newham's procurement portal to access detailed documentation and should do so promptly to meet the upcoming deadline. ## Notice Newham are inviting tenders from Conservation Architect's and those with Heritage experience, to lead a multi-disciplinary design team for the services from RIBA 2-7. In November 2021, Newham Council's secured almost PS40m from the first round of the Levelling Up Fund (LUF). The Connecting to Opportunities bid included PS6,231,806 allocated to the creation of a Heritage Centre in the Grade II listed Canning Town Old Library (CTOL). The current proposal is that this building will be operated by Newham's Resident Engagement and Participation Service. The Regeneration team within the Council's Community Wealth Building Directorate are leading on the delivery of the LUF funding pertaining to the capital improvements of the building. Canning Town Old Library is one of Newham's most important heritage assets and this funding will provide an opportunity to celebrate Newham's thriving culture and rich history. The neighbouring Public Hall, built at a similar time and now occupied by Community Links, hosted trade unionist Keir Hardie and suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst which demonstrates that this building is more than just community asset for local residents but is an important community asset for the whole Borough. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The project seeks to create a Heritage Centre in the Grade II Listed Canning Town Old Library (CTOL). CTOL is owned by Newham Council and has been vacant for a number of years following the relocation of the former library function to a new development opposite. The project proposes to repair and re-purpose the building to provide a range of Council-led facilities including an archive, digital media suite, flexible exhibition space, cafe, classroom along with an upper floor space, to be let to a third-party operator which is currently proposed as a workspace use. The majority of these spaces will be operated by Newham Council but elements will be leased to third parties to help-offset revenue costs. The Heritage Centre will be operated by Newham Council's Heritage Service, and this will be subject to a National Lottery Heritage funding bid in order to support the business case for the running of the building alongside further capital delivery to realise the Heritage Centre. In order to operate the Centre, the Service will recruit a number of new staff and significantly expand its programme of community engagement and education. In the first instance it is envisaged that this expanded service will be funded by a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund for a period of around five years. Thereafter a slightly scaled back service will be funded by Newham Council. The vision for Canning Town Old Library is to bring the building back into use, restoring and refurbishing the building and upgrade for archive, heritage services and cultural use. The Council also seeks to embed high-levels of sustainability performance. Newham are inviting tenders from Conservation Architect's and those with Heritage experience, to lead a multi-disciplinary design team for the services from RIBA 2-7. Bidders are advised that they will be required to register on Newham procurement portal, Fusion, to gain access to all documentation relating to this exercise. Without prior registration bidders will not be able to view the opportunity and will be visible once registered and invited to the exercise directly. We request that bidders register no later than the 4th of August to avoid any delays. The link has been provided in the contact information as well as contact details in the event of help required. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020240-2022 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 26 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £600,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF NEWHAM | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E16 2QU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | Royal Albert | | Westminster constituency | West Ham and Beckton | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71220000 - Architectural design services ## Release History - 26 Jul 2022 at 08:14 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020240-2022 - 26 Jul 2022 at 06:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020228-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.newham.gov.uk - https://elyq.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/fscmUI/faces/PrcPosRegisterSupplier?prcBuId=300000002089195&_afrLoop=5742534279783994&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null&_adf.ctrl-state=12txoutwiq_1&_afrFS=16&_afrMT=screen&_afrMFW=2560&_afrMFH=1272&_afrMFDW=2560&_afrMFDH=1440&_afrMFC=8&_afrMFCI=0&_afrMFM=0&_afrMFR=0&_afrMFG=0&_afrMFS=0&_afrMFO=0 - https://www.newham.gov.uk/council/procurement---buy/2 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
