Natural Resources Wales, in collaboration with Caerphilly County Borough Council, has initiated a Request for Proposal (RfP) titled "Cwmcarn RFP" for the development of additional recreational facilities in Cwmcarn Forest, Newport. This project is open to businesses within the 'Leisure Market' and aims to enhance the existing tourism and recreational offerings at the site. The tender process is currently at the active stage, with submissions closing on 29th August 2025. Interested parties must ensure questions are submitted by 11th August 2025. The procurement method is open competition for services, under the recreational, cultural, and sporting services category, and will be governed by Welsh devolved regulations.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in leisure and tourism development to expand their operations and establish a lasting presence in South Wales. Ideal candidates would be those with expertise in designing and constructing recreational facilities and a keen interest in long-term project management, as the contract period stretches from April 2026 to April 2056. By engaging in this project, businesses can not only contribute to community development and tourism in the region but also leverage the potential for sustainable revenue through the operation and management of the enhanced facilities.
