Summary of the contracting process

The Great Yarmouth Borough Council is initiating a public procurement process for the 'Wellesley Recreation Ground' project, classified under the sports facilities operation services industry (CPV 92610000). The procurement process is currently in the planning stage with expressions of interest due by 31 January 2025. Located in Great Yarmouth, the Wellesley Recreation Ground includes amenities such as an athletics track, 3G pitch, grass pitch, changing facilities, a bar, clubhouse, and grandstand. The project signifies a substantial opportunity with a total estimated value of £1,875,000 over a 25-year lease with a concession agreement.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for operators experienced in managing sports and recreation facilities. The successful bidder will have control over revenue opportunities estimated at £75,000 annually and the potential to develop new community and youth areas, enhance the clubhouse, and utilise stadium under-croft spaces to provide further community services. This opportunity is particularly suited for businesses that can sustainably manage such facilities without relying on financial support from the council, as they will be responsible for covering operating costs without subsidies.
