Description

Northumberland County Council are seeking proposals for a partner to operate the new facility in Ashington once it is constructed.
It is expected that the operator (and possible partners or sub-contractors) will run and manage the new centre in line with the Council's and funder's
expectations and requirements, which are broadly grouped around three
themes:
• Building Management and Programming
• Training, skills and apprenticeships
• Youth provision and activities
Northumberland County Council has secured significant investment for delivery
of an ambitious regeneration programme in Ashington. This includes funding
from HM Government (MHCLG), North East Combined Authority (NECA) and
the Council. This investment will drive forward demolition of vacant buildings on
the Wansbeck Square site and enable construction of a new £14.6m community
and cultural facility with improved public realm.
