Architectural Services: Park Lane Workshop and Allotments

Corsham Town Council wishes to employ an experienced architectural practice to help deliver a new workshop for its grounds staff as well as allotment plots for local residents.

The Town Council has acquired land off Park Lane, Corsham, between the Hartham Park Quarry and Groundstone Way on which it proposes to construct the workshop and allotments.

The workshop will need to accommodate up to eight grounds staff and their associated equipment and enable them to carry out their duties in an efficient and orderly manner. The Grounds staff carry out works including maintenance of play equipment, street furniture and benches, grass cutting, street sweeping, litter picking, small-scale groundworks and organising events in the town.

The Town Council is committed to becoming net carbon neutral by 2030 and we would like the building to help us achieve this goal. We would like the building to perform very well both in terms of operational energy and embodied energy, and we would like the workshop to provide an example to other organisations in the area.

Additional information: *Note* A small clarification was made to the Invitation to Tender on 4th June 2021. Under the Tenders section we have added the following :

'We would require the architect to be the Contract Administrator, to run the building contract, issue instruction to the contractor and certificates for payment etc.'

Please see attached Invitation to Tender - Workshop for details on submitting tenders.

Tenders need to be submitted by 12noon on Friday 11th June 2021.

Corsham Town Council will then select three companies to interview, approximately three weeks later, before selecting an architect to work with.
