This project falls under the construction work for buildings relating to education and research category. The contract period is 180 days, with a tender deadline of 13th March 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure, and submissions must be in written format. This opportunity provides a chance for businesses in the construction industry with experience in educational projects to participate. The project aims to create a not-for-profit Training Café run by pupils with special educational needs, providing them with valuable work experience. Businesses focusing on education construction and related services would be well-suited to compete in this tender and help support the development of vital life skills for these pupils. ## Notice Quotations are sought for the design and construction of a new training cafe and associated works. The cafe will be used to develop life skills for pupils with vision impairment. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Trust proposes to redevelop the site opposite Joseph Clarke School to become a not-for-profit Training Cafe run by its pupils, all of whom have special educational needs. The Training Cafe will bring learners to the heart of the local community and provide true work experience for them. The community will gain a valuable resource. . It is recognised that less than a quarter of people with learning disabilities are in employment. Only 1 in 10 people with poor functional vision is in paid employment. Research has shown that Government schemes fail to place blind and partially sighted people in work and that training and employment opportunities for those furthest from the labour market are dwindling . The proposed Training Cafe will provide opportunities for young people to initiate and maintain conversations, follow food hygiene procedures, deal with customers, take payments, follow instructions, work as a team and observe how they can become a key part of a functioning business. The outcomes of this project will be for some young people to move on to a further course in catering and hospitality. Some may move directly to employment within the sector. Other young people will have developed greater skills and confidence in interacting with people outside their immediate community. This will help them to get their needs met as they move towards greater independence in life. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/001602-2023 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 13 Mar 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE WHITEFIELD ACADEMY TRUST | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E17 4AZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI5 Outer London - East and North East | | ITL 3 | TLI53 Redbridge and Waltham Forest | | Local authority | Waltham Forest | | Electoral ward | Chapel End | | Westminster constituency | Walthamstow | | Delivery location | TLI53 Redbridge and Waltham Forest | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45214000 - Construction work for buildings relating to education and research ## Release History - 18 Jan 2023 at 16:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/001602-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/public-procurement-review-service-scope-and-remit - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=228497 - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA43088 - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx - https://www.whitefield.org.uk/ - https://www.whitefieldacademytrust.org.uk/68/key-information/category/47/supplying-whitefield-academy-trust-and-its-schools-and-services ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
