Purpose

The redevelopment of Maylord Orchards will
create a new library and learning resource centre, and is a key
project in the Hereford Town Investment Plan Towns Fund –
Herefordshire Council. The project will establish a modern Library
Service and Learning Resource Centre at the heart of the city,
re-purposing a key area of Hereford in creating new reasons for
people to visit and spend time and money across the centre as a
whole. The Learning Resource Centre will provide facilities to
enable local people to access the support they need to develop
their skills, and access new employment opportunities such as the
council’s Adults and Community Learning Service.
Subject to this decision, the Council intends to procure in
accordance with the Contract Procedure Rules to appoint a
construction partner to work alongside the Project Management and
Design team to complete RIBA stage 4 through to the implementation
and handover of the building (RIBA Stages 5/6.
