PRF 1226 - Social Value-led Operator for the Vine

Peterborough City Council (PCC) is running a procurement exercise to find an operator for the Vine in Peterborough City Centre. PCC is the owner of the Vine and has secured funding to redevelop this asset into a new, mixed use hub which delivers against social and economic priorities.

PCC is looking for a skilled and experienced operator for the Vine who will develop and deliver these services and outcomes over the long-term. As well as a commercial activity, The Vine will also need to house new library facilities to replace Peterborough Central Library and work with Peterborough City College and Anglia Ruskin University to incorporate parts of their educational programmes.

Ambitions for the offer include:

- A new library that embraces state of the art thinking on what a library is and offers. - Potential to support a cultural hub. - Spaces for education and learning for City College Peterborough (T-Levels) and Anglia Ruskin University. - Flexible workspaces and amenity spaces offered with a range of commercial and affordable terms. - Significant food and beverage rooftop opportunity.
