This is a pilot project, using an existing CCC vehicle, to test the benefit of taking services directly into communities. Therefore, to ensure best value, the design must be attractive and functional but also economical.Interested parties should submit a draft design for a multi-functional space that includes, but is not limited to, the following functional elements: ### Internal space As a minimum the internal space would have: ï‚· Areas for displaying posters, leaflets and other information. ï‚· Space for up to 6 people\*, or 5 people and 1 wheelchair user, to sit and work on laptops.
