Description

The Old bank is a local charity breathing new life into the disused Nat West Bank building in Camelford, providing an affordable space for the community. The charity offers regular events and support including weekly community larders for local residents who don't qualify for foodbank support, weekly fresh food markets to reduce food waste, along with quiz nights, art classes, film clubs and a range of healthy living activities. The external part of the building can be seen at:

This tender is to improve the building in order to provide better, more attractive facilities for the current services that the charity delivers, as well as allow them to offer a range of new activities, including community café, community laundrette, along with a range of advice, guidance and employment support.

The damp proofing and electrical work is vital to be able to provide a warm, comfortable and safe space for their vulnerable clients, along with the required elements of redecoration providing a welcoming, attractive and functional community hub for local residents to make good use of.

The charity currently supports approx. 700 local residents per week, with the expectation that this will rise to 1000 after the refurbishment is completed.

The proposed works are part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
