Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has recently completed a public procurement process for a concession contract titled "G&R/PRK/Harbour Open Water Swimming." This initiative, classified under the CPV code "Other services," aims to establish a permanent leisure opportunity by offering open water swimming activities in the city docks. The procurement, conducted using an open procedure, was completed in the award stage with the contract being awarded on 12th June 2024. The contract, valued at £120,000, commenced on 13th June 2024, and will run until 31st May 2027. The services are to be implemented across multiple regions within the United Kingdom, including London, South East, and South West. This particular proposal was suitable for small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in recreational and water-based activities to expand their operations and build their reputation within the leisure services industry. Given the wide geographical coverage, enterprises equipped to offer innovative and scalable open water swimming experiences are well-suited to leverage this contract. Additionally, SMEs and VCSEs can benefit from developing partnerships with local councils and enhancing community engagement through sustainable leisure services. The opportunity aligns with businesses looking to grow their portfolio by providing unique services and improving public access to leisure activities in urban settings.
