Tender Description

The St Tudy Playing Field Trust (PFT) wants to build a new net zero, accessible community hub located in the centre of the village, on St Tudy Playing Fields site. A local landowner has donated half an acre of agricultural land to supplement Playing Field land to compensate for building space.

The multifunctional and multigenerational Community Hub will include:
· Purpose-built Preschool classrooms, secure outdoor area.
· Staffroom with kitchen facilities, toilets and changing facilities.
· Community room used by groups for leisure, sporting, health related and other activities, including a kitchenette and toilet facilities.
· storage and plant room.
· separate entrances allowing secure separate access points .

A net zero Community Hub offers the local and wider community a space fit for the future. It will enhance facilities in the village, providing long-term security to a number of organisations, by having a permanent base.
This project is community led. The steering group have been meeting together and planning since 2017.
A new Community Hub will meet the current needs of the community and future proof organisations within the village. It will provide a much needed, energy efficient and inclusive building, allowing community members of all ages to access the building. The Hub will be based within the community having been led by community leaders, showing clear investment in our community. The culmination of many years hard work and determination from many like-minded people will have come to fruition, clearly strengthening the whole community.
The Hub will contribute to the health and wellbeing of the community, by providing a range of services. We understand the needs of our local community and can support the way that services can be delivered by providing a local venue which residents can access. With the ease of access to the playing fields site a range of other users will come forward to use it- increasing fitness and health levels for all ages.
The Hub will allow the Preschool (a registered charity) to have permanent facilities. This gives them long-term security and an opportunity to expand. This fulfils the need for provision for 2-year-old children, plus holiday clubs and wrap around care. This in turn allows parents the opportunity to return to work and so supports the local business economy. Children of all ages will be able to join holiday clubs, accessing the playing field site along with the Hub. Parents will be able to pay for this care at times when they have often needed to put their children in outside provision miles away, or take time off from work.
The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
