What is being bought

Published requirement description

This is an exciting opportunity to entirely redesign the councils ‘customer experience’ in an established city centre location offering a quality ‘one stop’ shop for customers. The new digital community learning hub will be a space where customers and visitors can experience a wide-ranging offer including:

  • A library service fit for the 21st Century
  • A modern learning environment where people can experience educational classes, educational drop-ins, pop up learning experiences and get the support they need to support them in every aspect of their life and in their work
  • A hub for Cultural activities
  • A place of historic learning – home to an established and popular local studies collection
  • A place for ‘immersive’ experiences and events – such as ‘dark skies nights’, storytelling experiences
  • A safe, inclusive and welcoming place to go for all – regardless of ethnicity, age, ability, gender, religion and diversity

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored
Quality: 70%Price: 30%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 70
  • Price: 30
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
