South Cambridgeshire District Council - Northstowe Phase 1 Permanent Community Building

Description

Northstowe Phase 1 Permanent Community Building South Cambridgeshire District Council is seeking the views from potential contractors on the delivery of the new Northstowe Community Centre building using a single stage D&B contract. The proposed Community Centre is to be located on the north-west corner of Parcel 6 of Northstowe’s Employment Zone. The land is owned and managed by South Cambridgeshire District Council and the reserved matters application was submitted to the LPA on 23rd August 2023, Ref 23/03248/REM – determination date TBC. Parcel 6 is situated south of Longstanton park and ride, and it is bounded by Stirling Road to the North. The site is currently a green open space with the exception of a single-storey structure which is the temporary community centre. The proposed Design is organised around a large central double height foyer connecting the main entrance facing the green with the garden courtyard to the rear. The overall building size will have an internal floor area of approx. 950m2 and is intended to be a two-storey building, with a key aspect of the building embedding exemplar sustainable credentials into the design. The aim of this exercise is to understand the current market for a single stage D&B contract with contractor design works commencing at RIBA stage 4 through to completion. SCDC would like to take this opportunity to not only establish the interest in this project, via the proposed procurement route and issues foreseen with the approach and delivery of this project.
