Lostwithiel Town Council with the support of the Community
Capacity Fund Project Advisory Committee is inviting RIBA Stage 0 tenders for strategic definition consultancy services to build on existing briefing documents, most specifically the Demand &
Viability Study undertaken by Hayhurst (May 2023) to establish potential financially viable future uses for the Grade II* Listed Edgcumbe House, attached Grade II* Listed Taprell House & Grade II
Listed Guildhall Lostwithiel. The Town Council's overarching vision is that the buildings should remain community assets and that they will be utilised to provide something new and different that reflects Lostwithiel's culture and heritage. The project also seeks to identify the role these buildings might play in rejuvenating the town for the community and improving Lostwithiel's destination status.

The objective of this study is to provide a fully costed financially viable project that the Town Council can progress through the various stages of the RIBA plan of work stages. The final report as
a minimum should include:-
• a review of the existing briefing documents
developed business case/plan for the options including projects risks
• high level financial operating plan,
• developed consultation with key stakeholders and intensive community engagement,
• evidence of discussions with Cornwall Council's Planning Team to ensure the final proposals are suitable for pre-application submission.
• early discussions with statutory consultees including Cornwall Council (Local Planning Authority) and Historic England,
• Quantity Surveyor's cost plan,
• an appraisal of the capital building investment identifying the key challenges, risks, recommendations and recommended next steps
• it must not displace existing offers within the community and must make provision for the Museum, Library and Town Council offices.
• commission of Heritage Impact Assessment to appraise the Listed and Heritage status of the buildings in relation to the future proposals
• an appraisal of the buildings with recommendations in the context of the brief and the Heritage Impact Assessment
The overall ambition is to see how the uses could form a viable model to run and maintain the buildings into the future. The Town Council is aware that the anatomy of the buildings will limit options and that there will need to be a blend of uses to offer a degree of cross-subsidy, flexibility of use over the longer term and adaptation for the future.
Please apply using the tender pack the closing date is 18 September at midday.
