Description

Formed in 2018, Boost Innovations Ltd is a company dedicated to inclusive innovation and accessible design. Mostly, we work with women who've had breast cancer and other breast from wearers to make shapers that are worn under clothing to provide a feminine silhouette. Our business model undertakes a twofold approach: firstly we manufacture and sell our core product lines (which include the world-wide selling Mandala breast forms). Secondly, our model is underpinned by an R&D pipeline which means that we are developing new products and services with a view that these will emerge into the core product offer. As such, Boost is a small team with global aspirations. We aim to make the world a better place, one boob at a time, and we are champions for human-centred design and women's health. As a multi-award winning company, we are on a journey to significantly scale to increase our capacity having recently been awarded an NHS Innovation Fellowship and opportunity to collaborate with national swimwear and bra brands.

The Barclays Bank building situated in the heart of Liskeard has been closed and unloved for a while. Boost is seeking to purchase and refurbish the building in order to create a HQ to facilitate our plans to grow our business. The building is split between two main areas; the Workshop (an extension to the rear) and Boost House (the main building at the front). Our plan is to move the daily operations of moulding, manufacture, and dispatch into the open plan extension area at the rear. The front building will become a front of house space with multifunctional rooms, from offices to fitting areas. The main body of the works in this tender will focus on the front building and the public-facing spaces and office provision. This part of the building is currently in a poor state. Works will focus on the main areas on ground floor, creating a welcoming, open plan space with changing rooms and the addition of a downstairs bathroom. On the second floor, work will focus on a large meeting room/ office space and amending the layout of current toilet blocks (as in our plans) to make the most of available space.
We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
