'Fit for the future Project' Tenders & Requests for Quotations
The Portishead Community Trust is being awarded ~£ 1.3 million under the Community Ownership fund to refurbish the lido facilities and the pool. The refurbishment should firstly enable the PPCT to continue to:
secure current and future use of the asset:
retain & improve engagement & local support
as well as retain & enhance community benefitsimprove environmental sustainability
And more importantly enable us to expand and improve our offering to staff, volunteers and the community to provide
Access for community members with mobility needs
Offer a wide range of additional services including social prescribing
Strengthen our involvement with local charities & provide discounted
or free event and meeting spacesIncrease overall accessibility to a wider community
Increase the environmental sustainability and commercial viability of the facility
The grant money must be spent by 19 December 2025. This means the development and refurbishment phases now need to move quickly and we therefore need to engage with professional partners to deploy the money in the most meaningful and efficient way. We are going to publish a number of tenders and specifications over the next couple of weeks to procure the respective skills and services for our project.
We are currently in negotiations with the short listed companies that are bidding for the main contract for the pool and cafe refurbishment works.
