## Summary

The procurement process involves Stratford-on-Avon District Council, seeking to grant a concession licence to operate a mini golf facility at the Stratford upon Avon Recreation Ground. This opportunity falls under the category of recreational, cultural, and sporting services. The procurement stage is currently at the tender phase, with the tender opened on 2nd September 2025 and submissions closing by 29th September 2025. The procurement is conducted using an open procedure, allowing electronic submissions in English. The successful bidder is expected to begin operations from 1st November 2025, holding the concession for five years, which includes responsibilities for maintenance, utility costs, and a stipulated annual fee to the council.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the recreational, leisure, and sports activity sectors, particularly those with experience in operating recreational facilities. Enterprises capable of offering a quality mini golf experience, alongside additional services such as selling snacks and drinks, will find this concession advantageous for expanding their regional presence and diversifying their service offerings. Given the picturesque location in Stratford upon Avon, operators may leverage the scenic attraction to boost customer engagement and business growth. Entrepreneurs with a focus on innovative customer experiences and efficient operational strategies are well-positioned to benefit from this venture.

## Notice

Stratford-on-Avon District Council proposes to offer, by tender, the right for a new agreement to operate the facility for a five year period. The agreement will allow the successful operator to operate a mini golf activity and to sell pre prepared snacks, cakes and sweets, hot and cold non-alcoholic drinks (subject to appropriate licencing being obtained). For the avoidance of doubt the concessionaire may not sell ice creams or ice lollies. The concession holder will pay an annual fee and be responsible for the repair and maintenance of the property as well as being responsible for utilities, rates and other outgoings.
