## Summary

Lancaster City Council is seeking a preferred developer to manage the regeneration of the former Frontierland funfair site on Morecambe’s seafront. This £50 million construction project aims to create a leisure and hospitality-led development, leveraging the popularity of Eden Project North, which attracts an estimated 3,700 peak daily visitors. The project status is active, and it is currently at the tender stage. The contract period is set to end on 29th September 2028. Interested bidders must submit their tenders by 31st January 2025, with the invitation to the second stage of the process scheduled for 20th February 2025. This procurement process is being handled through competitive dialogue due to its complexity, with the selection criteria focusing on the bidders' suitability, technical, and economic capabilities.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction, leisure, hospitality, and real estate development sectors. It offers the potential to be part of a transformative project that will broaden Morecambe's attractions and stimulate local economic growth by increasing visitor numbers and their length of stay. Suitable competitors include commercial leisure developers, hospitality operators, and mixed-use developers capable of forming strategic consortia. Selected developers will work closely with Lancaster City Council to develop a comprehensive solution that meets the council’s objectives, providing substantial prospects for both residential and visitor market engagement.

## 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.
