## Summary

The procurement process titled "Accommodation development opportunities at Kielder Castle and Kielder Water and Forest Park" is being conducted by the Forestry Commission. This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with a focus on short-stay accommodation construction work and related facilities within the Forest Park vicinity, specifically in the postal code area NE48 1ER. Interested businesses must note that engagement for this opportunity is set to conclude by 4th September 2020, after which a market engagement webinar will be held to discuss potential development plans and allow suppliers to provide feedback.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in short-stay accommodation and construction. Companies specialising in tourism infrastructure, lodging development, or related services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this project. SMEs are encouraged to participate, thus fostering a competitive environment where innovative solutions can be presented in response to the Forestry Commission’s needs. Engaging in this tender process could pave the way for further contracts and partnerships in the region.

## Notice

Forestry England have future requirements to develop Kielder Castle as a commercial accommodation offer as well as to develop accommodation opportunities across the Forest park and surrounding area. We intend to hold a market engagement event by webinar to inform interested companies from the market of our options for the future medium-long term development. The purpose of this event is to welcome engagement with the wider market and for potential suppliers to provide feedback on the feasibility of our emerging plans. Please note: due to COVID-19 restrictions any communications and literature relating to this call for engagement must be provided electronically. Additional note: it is likely that the requirement for Kielder castle accommodation development and the Forest park and surrounding area accommodation development will be tendered as two separate opportunities. Additional information: Companies interested in attending the market engagement webinar should (by 4th September 2020) notify Emily Coffin at emily.coffin@forestryengland.uk to receive further information on the event and to register an interest.
