This tender, pertaining to the construction industry, falls within the scope of leisure, sports, culture, lodging, and restaurant-related building work. At the tender stage, the procurement method used is selective under a competitive dialogue due to the project's complexity. The tender was published on 12 November 2024, with submissions due by 14 November 2025. The contract period is expected to commence on 12 December 2025 and conclude by 30 September 2027. The development aims to revitalise a former funfair site, leveraging the influx of visitors from Eden Project North, and has an estimated value between £25 million and £75 million. This project presents a considerable business growth opportunity for commercial leisure, hospitality, and mixed-use developers or consortia. It is particularly suited for developers seeking to engage in a large-scale regeneration initiative that focuses on both visitor appeal and local resident benefits. SMEs are encouraged to participate, enhancing their portfolios by contributing to a significant urban redevelopment. The planned leisure and hospitality-led development aims to transform day-trip visits into longer stays, thus broadening Morecambe's appeal and stimulating economic growth in the region. ## Notice Lancaster City Council wishes to appoint a preferred developer partner to deliver its regeneration ambitions for a former funfair site on Morecambe's seafront. The council wants bids from commercial leisure, hospitality and mixed-use developers or consortia (with identified lead organisation) to promote and develop a comprehensive leisure and hospitality-led development that will help capitalise on Eden Project North and the estimated 3,700 peak daily visitors. There is an opportunity to broaden Morecambe's offer, help attract new visitors and convert day trippers into overnight stays. However, the focus is not just on visitors, the redevelopment of the site must also benefit residents, particularly the leisure offer. Competitive Dialogue has been selected due to the development's technical, legal and financial complexity. The aim is to progressively develop a solution with bidders that best meets the council's requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/595711ee-1a3a-42d7-bfe4-3c41a505f0a3 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive dialogue (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 14 Nov 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 12 Dec 2025 - 30 Sep 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £75,000,000 | | 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 | LANCASTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LANCASTER | | Post town | Lancaster | | Postcode | LA1 1PJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD44 Lancaster and Wyre | | Local authority | Lancaster | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Lancaster and Wyre | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 70 - Real estate services - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45212000 - Construction work for buildings relating to leisure, sports, culture, lodging and restaurants - 70110000 - Development services of real estate - 70121000 - Building sale or purchase services - 70122000 - Land sale or purchase services - 70200000 - Renting or leasing services of own property - 70300000 - Real estate agency services on a fee or contract basis - 71200000 - Architectural and related services - 71500000 - Construction-related services ## Release History - 12 Nov 2024 at 11:56 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/595711ee-1a3a-42d7-bfe4-3c41a505f0a3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/595711ee-1a3a-42d7-bfe4-3c41a505f0a3 12th November 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.lancaster.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
