Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council is currently in the planning stage for the procurement of outdoor learning experiences and residential centre services. The procurement is focused on youth education services and is situated in the East of England, primarily around their three outdoor learning centres: Grafham Water Centre, Stibbington, and Burwell House. A key milestone in this process is the engagement end date set for 5th October 2018. Interested parties are invited to review the market engagement notice published on 26th September 2018, which outlines potential partnership and leasing opportunities for these sites.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses in the outdoor education sector, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) looking to expand their services. Companies that specialise in delivering outdoor educational services, adventurous activities, or similar experiences would find the procurement particularly relevant. The option for businesses to lease the sites opens avenues for establishing their own operations, thereby supporting growth and community engagement through outdoor learning initiatives.
