Description

Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council have identified the cultural and creative industries as an area of local economic growth. Several recent studies, engagement sessions and consultations have been conducted that highlight a shortage of creative workspace in Greater Cambridge required to support Greater Cambridge's thriving community of arts and cultural organisations, venues, creative businesses and start-ups, freelancers and groups. Unlike many other cities, Greater Cambridge does not benefit from having a supply of post-industrial buildings that can be converted to suit the needs of creative businesses.

Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council are seeking a consultant to provide a detailed report that quantifies the creative workspace shortage and potential future needs, and the spatial, practical, and technical requirements for different types of workspace used by the cultural and creative industries. The two Councils are seeking a contractor with a good level of knowledge of planning and policy, the Greater Cambridge area, the different types and usages of creative workspace, and practical experience of identifying the requirements of such spaces. Proposals are now invited from suitably experienced consultants.
