The council seeks commercial partners to manage, maintain, and operate the site, including tea rooms/cafes and bike hire services. The contract period starts on April 1, 2024, with the tender deadline set for March 10, 2023. The procurement falls under the services category, and the location is Warwick, Warwickshire, United Kingdom. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the cafeteria services, landscaping, outdoor sports equipment, and single-purpose sports facilities construction sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, and interested parties can access the tender documents on the CSW-Jets e-procurement portal. The open procedure (below threshold) allows a wide range of businesses to engage with Warwickshire County Council for potential future collaborations. ## Notice Warwickshire County Council are undertaking a market testing exercise to determine if there are any commercial partners (in the marketplace) willing to take over the management, maintenance, and liabilities of the Mountain Bike Trails based at Pooley Country Park. We also wish to determine if there are any commercial partner(s) who would also operate the tea rooms/cafe and supply a bike hire/repair service. Our vision is for Pooley Country Park to become a cycle hub which has a cafe and 3 Mountain Bike Trails. Additional information: This is an exploratory soft market testing exercise. The contract start date, contract end date and project values, will be determined based on the results of the market testing findings. For further information and to obtain the soft market testing pack, please register as a Supplier on our e-procurement portal, CSW-Jets (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/csw-jets/aspx/Home). You will also use this link to submit your soft market testing questionnaire. Your comments/views are important to us and will help inform any 'potential' future tendering process.
