UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Lancashire Borough Council commissioned feasibility studies for its Park Pool leisure facility. The work is consultancy to assess the facility’s feasibility, rather than construction or ongoing leisure operations. The service falls under management consultancy (CPV 79411000). Delivery is in West Lancashire, Lancashire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to RAPT Leisure Developments Ltd, an SME. West Lancashire Borough Council used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 16 July 2026 to 15 July 2027. Its value is £41,216.66 excluding VAT (£49,460 including VAT). The opportunity was structured as one lot. The published procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand from West Lancashire Borough Council for feasibility advice on a public leisure facility. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate relevant management consultancy expertise and the ability to assess the practical feasibility of a leisure facility. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller consultancy can deliver this scale of assignment; the work was procured by direct award without competition. Relevant experience should be specific to leisure facilities and feasibility studies, rather than general management advice alone.
