Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-05f023

Description

Tenders are invited from suitably qualified Consultancy firms for the Design and Project

Management of a new Cricket and Community Hub on the existing site of Lauralvale

Cricket Club 25 Mullavilly Rd. Tandragee, BT62 2LX. Since 1875 the grounds and facility

has provided the focus for many village activities and functions. The club has just

celebrated 150 years existence, and to mark this the Committee want to secure a viable

long-term future for this established club and develop the facilities and activities that take

place there. Over the years due to its location in the centre of the villages of Laurelvale

and Mullavilly, many activities other than cricket now take place within the grounds. There

is a real need to build a new, fit for purpose facility to host these activities. This capital

project will kickstart the first phase of the club's vision - the building of a new community

hub and changing facility adjacent to the current cricket pitch ground (Building B) This

new single storey building will have a multi-use space where groups will meet and during

the cricket season will also act as changing rooms. It will also have a disabled toilet and

baby changing facilities. The new facility would allow for more programming of indoor

activities, longer opening hours. Increase in usage of the facility will lead to increased

revenues, all of which will be ploughed back into maintaining and developing other

facilities in the club's vision. Council wishes to develop this project with a consultant.
