## Summary

West Lancashire Borough Council commissioned feasibility studies for Park Pool. The requirement is for professional architectural, engineering and planning services to assess the proposed pool development and support decisions about its future. The work is categorised under CPV 71240000 and is a services contract, rather than construction works or the supply of equipment. Delivery is in England. The council is based in Ormskirk, Lancashire, and is the organisation buying and using the services. The scope is therefore relevant to consultancies and multidisciplinary built-environment practices able to undertake feasibility work for leisure or public-sector facilities, including technical assessment, planning input and the development of evidence to inform a potential pool project. The procurement concerns Park Pool specifically, rather than general leisure management or routine pool operations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 1 June 2026 at 23:59. West Lancashire Borough Council awarded the contract to RAPT Leisure Developments Ltd on 16 June 2026. The awarded value is £49,460 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 15 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £49,460. The published evaluation basis is the overall requirements for the architectural, engineering and planning feasibility service; no separate quality, price or weighting breakdown is recorded in the procurement information. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. The opportunity was presented as a single requirement rather than separate lots.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from West Lancashire Borough Council for feasibility expertise focused on a public swimming-pool project. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to combine architectural, engineering and planning capability, rather than offering only one narrow discipline. Credibility would come from producing practical feasibility studies for leisure facilities or comparable public buildings, assessing development options and translating technical findings into clear evidence for council decision-making. The buyer’s suitability assessment did not identify the work as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so a larger established practice or a consortium with sufficient internal capacity may be better positioned. Relevant firms should be able to coordinate multidisciplinary work and manage a public-sector client’s requirements through the full feasibility exercise.
