Description

Tenders are being sought to improve the recreation space at Prospect Street, Horncastle to make it into an attractive, welcoming and safe community space for families. Consultation has taken place with the community and the survey results are shown in the attached specification document. The final design must incorporate some of the facilities identified at Question 2 of the survey.

Our core objectives for this project are:
• create an intergenerational space
• family focussed
• create a safe and inclusive space

Tenderers are asked to provide:
a) details of previous projects of a comparable nature showing the breadth of your portfolio
b) Details of professional warrantees and any guarantees offered
c) Potential start date for work
d) Estimated duration of proposed work

A site visit is essential although will not be accompanied as the site is always open and accessible. One day has been set aside for accompanied site visits. The date is Monday 6th January and anyone wishing to have an accompanied visit must book an appointment in advance. Please contact the Town Clerk to make an appointment - Tel: 01507 522957 or email info@horncastletowncouncil.co.uk.

Horncastle Town Council holds ultimate responsibility for appointing a contractor, however, in determining the correct provider, may seek input from the local community.
Interviews with shortlisted contractors may be offered. These will be an informal opportunity for the Council to meet your company representatives as we feel the relationship that can be built with the preferred contractor is crucial.
Details to note: Delivery of this project is dependent on grant funding. If you could assist in this process, please indicate this in your tender submission.
