Notice Title

Management and Operation of Priors Hall Public Golf Course

Notice Description

This procurement is being ran under the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016. Priors Hall Golf Course covers 143 acres and is leased to the Council for 99 years from Tata Steel. The lease expires on 1st January 2062. In August 2017, the One Corby Policy Committee approved for the Golf Course management to be managed in-house from the 1st September 2017 for a minimum of one year following the contractor giving early notice on the contract. The Council has managed the facility since then and has taken the opportunity to make improvements to the course, clubhouse and the services provided; this has started to show in an increase in satisfaction by users and over the last few months an improvement in the number of users accessing the facility. The Council has also been able to take stock of the grounds maintenance equipment, the state of the club house and most importantly gain a better understanding of the requirements of the course. The Council has recognised that considerable investment is needed in the course to continue the improvements and make the required changes and therefore wants to ensure that the length of any contract to manage the course reflects this and allows any bidder the opportunity to recoup their investment over time. Golf usage has dropped nationally over the last ten years, other services and business opportunities need to be developed to help ensure that the course is sustainable. The Supplier is to manage and deliver a range of services at Priors Hall Golf Course including: 1. Management and promotion of golf on the course; 2. Course management - including full maintenance programme; 3. Management and maintenance of facilities including but not exclusive to Club House, Green keepers shed/store, car park, entrance road, landscaping; 4. Golf Shop; 5. Bar and Catering provision, offering a range of services for golfers, societies and social events/functions; 6. Golf Tuition; and 7. Hiring of equipment including but not restricted to clubs, trolleys, golf buggies, etc. All documents and detail are available from the Council's in-tend procurement portal https://in-tendhost.co.uk/corby/aspx/Home Additional information: Update: 13-Feb-2020 Following clarification of responses received for this procurement, all interested Bidders withdrew from the process. As such the opportunity will not be awarded on this occasion.
