Fusion Energy Café Invitation to Tender
 The world’s first Fusion Energy Café that will fuel minds as well as appetites is currently under construction in Worksop.
Located at The Bridge Skills Hub, the café will help to inspire the local community to generate an interest in the field of fusion energy and encourage aspirations to study or work in this exciting sector.
The café will also help to provide training and volunteering opportunities in catering and hospitality and Bassetlaw District Council is now searching for a café operator and training provider to manage either or both aspects.
So that potential providers can learn more, an informal drop-in session is being held at The Fusion Energy Café and Skills Hub on Wednesday 24th July, between 2pm and 4.30pm, to support potential tender bids.
Training providers and independent operators, including Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations, are being encouraged to express their interest either as a single applicant, or as a partnership.
To confirm your attendance at the drop-in session, please email skillshub@bassetlaw.gov.uk by 12noon on Tuesday 22nd July.
Further details on the tender opportunity are available to view on the Find a Tender website.

Bassetlaw District Council is offering micro and small businesses the chance to get expert energy advice on how to cut their carbon footprint.
Businesses are being invited to apply for an energy audit, which will help them become more sustainable and could identify financial savings.
During the first year of the project, nearly 40 businesses have been audited by Mitie Plan Zero, with 16 going on to successfully apply for decarbonisation grants of up to £5k from the Council.
These grants support the costs of implementing energy efficiency and carbon reduction measures and Wagz Grooming in Worksop is just one of the local businesses to have taken advantage of these opportunities.
