Description

NOTE: This notice was updated on 05 February 2019 for the following reason: Amendment to closing date - deadline is now noon Monday 18th February 2019(Shropshire Council have an aspiration to make the Mere at Ellesmere one of the key visitor destinations in Northern Shropshire. Our aim is to develop and promote The Mere at Ellesmere Country Park as 'The' Outdoor Recreation Centre of Shropshire's Lake District, by creating more outdoor recreational opportunities for visitors; delivering an all year-round family visitor/tourist destination at the Mere; increasing usage out of the main spring and summer seasons.

The objective of this project is to design a café/space. The café will be a wooden structure and should be inspired with children in mind as the main end user and a place where adults can enjoy and engage in children's play and development. We would welcome theme-based designs that have children's adventure and the spirit of Mere at heart. The location of the new café will be set alongside an existing adventure play area and visitor toilets which will both be improved as part of this overall project.

The contract used for this project will be the JCT Design and Build 2016 Form of Contact and will be based on the Single Stage route. The project has a maximum budget of £450,000. We are seeking tenders that will deliver an innovative and amazing design, as well as value for money. The project is scheduled to run from November 2019 to March 2020 and needs to be ready to open for the busy Easter period.

The final date for Tender submissions is 12 noon Thursday 7th February 2019. The delay between receiving tenders and awarding contract is to allow the completion of the match funding application process which requires the inclusion of the tender submission and planning approval.)
