Production of a design brief and outline business case for a heritage and cultural centre

Our recently adopted Borough Manifesto recognises the value of culture to boost our economy by creating jobs and supporting local people to realise their potential.

This is an exciting but challenging commission that comprises the development of an outline business case and costed design plan for a new heritage and cultural centre of regional significance, on the site of the former Ford stamping plant.

It will tell the story of the area's industrial heritage but also support the development of new sustainable creative industries in the Borough.

The new centre will celebrate the industrial achievements of the area, act as a cultural centre, community resource and social facility within the proposed housing development in which it will be located, and as a visitor destination.

It will also provide affordable workspace to encourage job creation and a sustainable future for new and existing cultural practitioners.

The deadline for submissions is 12 pm (noon) Friday 22 September 2017
