This initiative focuses on real estate services within the education and training sector, specifically aimed at potentially enhancing the outdoor education centres, Low Bank Ground and Hinning House, located in the North West of England. The engagement end date for interested parties to submit their expressions of interest is 4th June 2021 at 5:00 PM. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to explore involvement in the outdoor education sector. Businesses with innovative educational programmes, experience in real estate services, or those committed to enriching community engagement through educational experiences would be well-suited to participate. The Wigan Council is particularly interested in assessing various ideas and capabilities, making this an excellent chance for diversified businesses to showcase their potential contributions. ## Notice Low Bank Ground and Hinning House Outdoor Education Centres have a long and successful history of delivering innovative, real, relevant, and exciting experiences to young people from Wigan. By using different activities as vehicles for learning, the focus has always been the development of the whole child. Visits to Centres often count as the most memorable in a young person's school career, the trip to the Lake District providing for many their first trip away from home and a chance to see the world through different eyes. Wigan Council are undertaking an options appraisal of the centres and as part of this options review and discussion by Wigan Council's Cabinet we would like to undertake some soft market testing of what the market could potentially deliver or what interest there is in this opportunity.
