Description
Towns Fund Business Case development and assessment Swindon Borough Council invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced service providers for the provision of consultancy services to either develop Outline Business Cases or act as an Independent Technical Advisor (ITA) to appraise regeneration schemes related to the allocation of Town Deal Funding. Project Description In 2019 Swindon was one of 101 places given the opportunity by the Government to bid for funding of up to £25 million as part of the Government's £3.6 billion Towns Fund. The Swindon Town Deal Board was convened in January 2020 incorporating Board members from the public, private and voluntary/community sectors, a separate community engagement panel of some 35 members has also been established to ensure the required level of community engagement. Following the submission of the Town Investment Plan, six schemes have been confirmed as listed below: • Kimmerfields Enabling Infrastructure - to bring forward further residential and commercial development. • Heritage Streets and Spaces - to enhance the public realm and link key town centre assets. • Health Hydro - to redevelop the Milton Road Baths into a modern leisure facility. • Carriage Works - to regenerate the Grade II listed Carriage Works to provide office and incubation space. • Create Studios - to provide a film, studio and teaching space within one of the new Carriage Works units. • Brunel Market - to develop a modern, vibrant market hall for further business opportunities. Swindon Borough Council, on behalf of the Swindon Town Deal Board, is seeking to commission providers who can be instructed to either develop Outline Business Cases or act as an Independent Technical Advisor to appraise regeneration schemes.
