Operator for the Henry Tudor Centre, Pembroke

Tender description

Pembrokeshire County Council seeks to find an organisation to operate and manage a new Henry Tudor visitor attraction which will be located in South Quay on Castle Terrace, Pembroke. These significant buildings, which have sat unoccupied for many years, are owned by Pembrokeshire County Council (PCC) who are overseeing a multimillion pound transformation. In spring 2025 (subject to current capital scheme timescales), as part of a wider regeneration of South Quay, the site will open as a new visitor attraction and community hub. It will include: • A new, state of the art interactive visitor attraction which will tell the story of Henry Tudor and the emergence of the Tudor dynasty; • The town library which will relocate from Commons Road • A new café, located to the rear of the building and overlooking the river; • Flexible spaces [ground floor and second floor] for meetings, events, temporary exhibitions etc. The operating contract is to manage the visitor attraction and oversee the management of the building including the flexible spaces. The café will also form part of the contract and the chosen operator can either run it directly or subcontract it to a third party.
