UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is exploring golf simulator facilities in Holland Park. The potential service covers the design, installation, operation and management of the facilities, combining equipment supply and installation with ongoing sports and recreation facility operations. The Council is seeking supplier input on available solutions, commercial and funding models, operating requirements, customer experience and maintenance. The intended delivery location is Holland Park, London. This is a preliminary market engagement to help the Council shape its requirements and decide how to approach a possible procurement; it is not yet an invitation to tender.

The process is at planning and the Council has begun preliminary market engagement, rather than inviting bids. It expects to use feedback from providers to inform the eventual requirements and procurement approach. The engagement questionnaire has an expected response date of 16 November 2026; the Council proposes any follow-up requests or meetings with suitable respondents during November and December 2026. The Council’s published milestone says it anticipates a tender notice in March 2026, a date that precedes this engagement’s stated schedule. The planned contract period is 1 March 2027 to 29 February 2028. The procurement is identified as a concession, but no contract value is set out. It is structured as one lot; evaluation criteria and supplier eligibility requirements are not yet established in the process information.

The engagement is most relevant to suppliers able to contribute to a golf simulator facility as a complete service: equipment and solution design, installation, day-to-day operation and management, and maintenance. Providers with experience in sports or recreational facilities may be well placed to discuss operating models and customer experience, while equipment specialists can inform the available technology and installation requirements. The Council is also seeking views on commercial and funding models, so businesses able to develop or assess concession-style arrangements can help shape the future approach. This is a preparation opportunity, not a competition for contract award. Supplier responses may influence the scope and operating requirements that the Council ultimately takes to market; no specific accreditation, technical standard or minimum capacity is stated at this stage.
