UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council is in the planning stage of a tender process for the "Durley Chine Environmental Innovation Hub," which is set to commence in Spring 2026. This procurement is focused on hotel, restaurant, and retail trade services within the region of Dorset, United Kingdom. The council intends to award a concession contract following a thorough market engagement process scheduled to conclude with a formal tender in late 2025. Interested parties are encouraged to engage before the scheduled deadline on 24th July 2025. With a contract period from April 2026 to March 2041, this initiative falls under the services category and aims to foster innovative environmental solutions.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) to contribute innovative and creative ideas. The concession contract allows businesses to demonstrate their capabilities in the hotel, restaurant, and retail service industries, aiming to boost local economic growth in Bournemouth. Companies that specialise in sustainable practices, operational innovation, and environmentally conscious service delivery are particularly well-suited to capture this opportunity, thereby enhancing their reputation and expanding their market presence.
