Description

Shropshire Council's main administration office is now 50 years old. Whilst assumed structurally sound, with its key mechanical and electrical systems still viable, a number of years with minimal planned or reactive maintenance has had a negative impact on the quality and performance of the building. A number of key items/elements have exceeded their expected lifespan; significant investment is now required to bring the building to modern standards. This requirement provides an opportunity to consider options to reconfigure the building to make it more suited to modern working, and create income generating opportunities including creating innovative shared and/or lettable space.
The project has a projected budget of £7.5m, which must include all construction, fit out, and removal/relocation costs, and fees.
We require a consultant to undertake a review of the current building, and, with consideration to the operational and strategic objectives of Shropshire Council, develop a scheme that shows how the building can most effectively be refurbished, reconfigured, updated - and 'future-proofed' for another 50 years or more of operation. Your review should include and make reference to thorough investigations of the building, analysis of relevant documents and strategies, and consultation with key personnel including those engaged with the current ICT transformation programme.
