UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Hams District Council in collaboration with West Devon Borough Council initiated a public procurement process under the title "Leisure Services for South Hams District Council and West Devon Borough Council". This procurement falls within the service industry category, specifically focusing on sporting services in the UKK4 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement follows an open procedure methodology, inviting potential service providers to submit tenders electronically via the ProActis portal before 12:00 PM on 22 December 2025. While the procurement was in the tender stage, the award process was set to be completed by 12 January 2026, with a contract period designed to start on 1 April 2026 and extend potentially until 1 April 2031, including possible renewals. Unfortunately, the process culminated in a tender cancellation as noted in the completion notice on 29 January 2026.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in leisure and sporting services provision, particularly those experienced in managing substantial municipal contracts. Ideal candidates would include companies proficient in ensuring operational efficiency and quality service delivery, as the award criteria focus equally on price and quality, with rigorous plans for operational approaches and mobilisation. Despite the cancellation, such tenders represent significant growth opportunities, allowing small to medium enterprises the chance to expand their portfolios by engaging in collaborative contracts with sub-central government authorities in the UK.
