## Summary

The Warrington Borough Council is currently inviting tenders for the supply, installation, and operation of a high/low ropes attraction at Walton Hall & Gardens, a project categorised under outdoor sports equipment and leisure facilities. This open tender process, which commenced on 18th July 2018, has a submission deadline set for 21st September 2018. The contract will run for a period of five to ten years starting from 14th January 2019 and is focused on enhancing an under-utilised area within the estate located in Warrington, North West England.

This procurement opportunity is well-suited for businesses in the leisure and outdoor sports equipment industries, particularly those with experience in operating recreational attractions. The council seeks a long-term partner that can offer innovative designs for the ropes attraction while ensuring a commercially viable solution. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, making this a valuable opportunity for local businesses aiming to expand their operations within the public sector.

## Notice

The Council wishes to identify a long term partner to fund, install and operate a high/low ropes attraction in a currently under-utilised but prominent area of the estate. The Council is therefore inviting tenders for a concession to supply and operate a high/low ropes attraction for a minimum of 5 years and up to 10 years (subject to dialogue/negotiation and the level of initial capital investment). The Council wishes to have the most commercially beneficial solution for this attraction type and is therefore flexible in its approach to a concession with respect to its duration and the scale/ambition of proposed course designs.
