Description

The Saltash Town Team is seeking the services of qualified and experienced landscape design/public realm consultancy to determine the optimal location(s) and feasibility of developing a green multi-use community space in the retail heart of the town centre.

Tenders are sought from companies with expertise and an excellent track record in designing public realm schemes in other towns, undertaking meaningful community consultation processes, providing creative and innovative solutions with clear costs and project timetables and where the final scheme has led to positive environmental, social and economic impacts.

It is expected that the consultants will carry out an assessment of possible sites, interrogate data on a range of factors including location, size, land ownership, accessibility, viability and synergy with the town's retail centre taking the project to RIBA stage 2 with conceptual designs and a feasibility study being the outcome to this project. Community consultation is an imperative part of the work.

This work will be overseen by the Saltash Town Team who provide the coordination of development activity within Saltash with the remit of helping to improve the economic, social and environmental revitalisation of the town - making Saltash a better place to live, work, visit and enjoy.

The accountable body for the project will be Saltash Town Council who are active members of the Town Team through Councillor and officer representation. A sub-group will steer this project led by the Chairman.

The commissioning of this work presents an exciting and high-profile opportunity for the appointed company to be involved in a game changing project in Saltash which is not only bespoke to the needs of the town's community, providing a much needed amenity but also builds on the town's profile as the gateway to Cornwall. It is also intended that the project echoes the rich heritage of Saltash.

This work has been funded through a successful Vitality Funding award from Cornwall Council's Town Centre Revitalisation Fund enabling Saltash to advance this project with the aim of improving the economic, social and environmental revitalisation of the town.

Interested applicants need to download the full 'Invitation to Tender' document and associated appendices including the quotation form which will be required when making a tender submission. Submissions are required by hard copy and email as per the submission details outlined in the 'Invitation to Tender' document.

Interest has to be registered by Thursday 1st December 2022 at 17.00 to tenders@saltash.gov.uk in order to receive a tender envelope to be used in the final submission (closing date 15th December 2022 at 12.00).
