The tender is currently active, with a submission deadline set for 22nd October 2018. The procurement process is being conducted through an open method, and the successful partner will oversee the market operations for a minimum lease duration of 25 years, commencing from 28th February 2019, through to 28th February 2044. Interested parties should note that a briefing session is scheduled for 12th July 2018, to discuss the opportunity in greater detail. This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) equipped to deliver innovative market management solutions. Businesses that can craft engaging customer experiences, enhance market footfall, and provide robust proposals for site refurbishment would be well-positioned to compete. The council is particularly interested in partners with demonstrated expertise and a strong vision, including potential joint bids from existing traders, which could maximise the market's potential and profitability. ## Notice Rossendale Borough Council is seeking a partner to take over the day to day running of Rawtenstall Market over a minimum of a 25 year lease. The partner will fund the refurbishment of the site and generate further proposals that will boost footfall and drive the destination as a tourist attraction for the local community and visitors. The tenderer will be responsible for promotion, events, stall management, maintenance and associated running costs. Tenderers are required to submit a business plan and financial model that enhances the traditional market as well as developing attractive offers and experiences for customers. Tenders from individuals and organisations will be considered. In return RBC will offer a long lease, envisaged to be 25 years although a longer period will be considered if supported by exceptional long term investment commitments and high profit share yields. Rent from the market stalls would form an income for the successful partner organisation. Rossendale BC is looking for a partner with a strong vision supported by a proven track record who will be able to maximise the potential of the site. Joint bids particularly with existing traders will be considered where specialist expertise can be demonstrated.
