The contract period is set to commence on 13th January 2018 and will last until 31st January 2023. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically miscellaneous business and business-related services, with a total contract value of £75,000. Interested parties must submit their tenders by the deadline of 17th November 2017. Bury Council aims to rejuvenate the market and increase footfall in the town centre, which is poised for significant growth in line with recent developments in the area. This tender presents a viable opportunity for businesses specialising in market management, event coordination, and hospitality services. Companies that can bring innovative concepts to enhance the market's appeal, such as expanded trading hours or unique vendor offerings, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Given the Council's focus on attracting more visitors and maximising the market’s potential, smaller enterprises and voluntary community sector entities might find this tender aligns well with their operational capabilities and community engagement strategies. ## Notice The Council currently operates a small Market Hall in Radcliffe with approximately 34 stalls (this is one of the three market sites within the borough) The market is based on Blackburn Street within the centre of Radcliffe, the site is: * A short walk from the Metrolink station with a frequent direct service to Bury and Manchester and the wider tram and train network. * Well positioned in terms of local motorways with the M60, M61, M62 and M66 all in close proximity. Radcliffe is likely to experience significant growth in housing building over the next ten years. Master planning is already underway on a number of sites with a recently opened modern Health Centre located on the route between the Metrolink station and the town centre. Work has commenced on the building of a Lidl supermarket adjacent to the Market Hall with the development due to commence imminently. In partnership with the Council, TfGM (Transport for Greater Manchester) invested in a new bus station facility in close proximity to the Market building and the Council is also seeking opportunities to redevelop vacant Council owned premises on Dale Street. The Market building is considered to be a key asset in the ongoing process of regenerating the Town Centre. It looks out on the River Irwell which has historically been an underused asset but one that has potential to play a greater role in the attractiveness of the Town. In November 2015 the Market underwent a major refurbishment, modelled on a traditional market, at a cost of approximately PS1million and included a large "picture" window to draw on the feature of the river. The refurbishment included updating of all utilities, a new roof including solar panels, new entrances, feature picture window and all stalls fitted with individually metered electricity supply, some with water supply and all fitted with electric shutters. The current layout of the site comprises 34 stalls and a cafe. The former are let under licence and the latter subject to a lease. Market days are every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday However there is a perceived lack of demand for such an offer from both the public and stallholders; as a result of this the Council is interested in alternative "offers" that would generate significant footfall in Radcliffe Town Centre and is keen to expand on the number of days the site is open and also to extend its current Friday evening offer. The Council is therefore looking to appoint an operator to undertake a range of services in order to create a successful market. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a059b16-f5ba-4591-b21a-ba5372586d61 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 17 Nov 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 Jan 2018 - 31 Jan 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £75,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BURY COUNCIL | | Locality | BURY | | Post town | Bolton | | Postcode | BL9 0SW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD37 Greater Manchester North East | | Local authority | Bury | | Electoral ward | Bury East | | Westminster constituency | Bury North | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79900000 - Miscellaneous business and business-related services ## Release History - 19 Oct 2017 at 15:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a059b16-f5ba-4591-b21a-ba5372586d61 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4a059b16-f5ba-4591-b21a-ba5372586d61 19th October 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.bury.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
