UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Shropshire Council is seeking a provider to manage and operate the golf services and golf shop at Meole Brace Golf Course. The service covers customer-facing golf provision, administering bookings, running the shop, collecting and managing related income, and promoting and developing participation in golf. The provider will also liaise with the Council and other service providers and deliver associated activities set out in the contract and service specification. This is a sports facility management and operation service, rather than a construction or equipment supply contract. Delivery is at Meole Brace Golf Course in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.

The Council invited tenders through an open procedure. The procurement is a single lot, with an estimated gross value of £360,000. The contract is planned to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 July 2031. Questions were due by 18 November 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 4 December 2026 at 12:00. The award decision was scheduled by 8 January 2027. Evaluation gives quality a 60% weighting and price 40%. Electronic tender submission is permitted, in English, through the Delta eSourcing service.

The opportunity suits operators able to manage a golf facility and its shop as an integrated customer service. Bidders should be capable of handling golf bookings and administration, managing shop operations and service income, and promoting participation in golf. The service also requires effective liaison with the Council and other providers, alongside delivery of the associated activities in the contract and service specification. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable to compete. The single-site requirement is relevant to established golf course operators and leisure service providers with the operational capability to deliver day-to-day customer-facing services and develop local participation.
