## Summary

The public procurement process led by Staffordshire County Council involved a contract for the "IA3948 Completion of the Reinventing Chasewater feasibility and master planning project". This project falls under the services category, specifically focusing on feasibility studies, advisory services, and analysis. The tender has reached the award stage, with Barker Langham Ltd being awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 1st May 2026, covering the period up to 31st March 2027. Located in Stafford, United Kingdom, the project is part of a larger investment in the county’s countryside estate, specifically at Chasewater Country Park, which has a designated capital budget of £18 million for site improvements.

This tender represents a significant opportunity within the public sector for service-oriented businesses specialising in feasibility studies and master planning. Given the project's scope and budget, companies with experience in large-scale environmental or recreational site planning would be well-suited to engage and potentially collaborate on future stages or similar projects. The procurement process opened avenues for innovative solutions that could leverage the upgraded facilities, suggesting potential for growth in consultancy services, landscaping, and infrastructure planning sectors within the region and beyond.

## Notice

The County Council has committed to investing in its countryside estate, with an PS18m capital budget identified for improvements across a number of sites. One of the programme sites is Chasewater Country Park. Feasibility work was commissioned in 2024, requiring completion of an options appraisal for significantly upgraded facilities on the site's South Shore and identifying a preferred option with accompanying business plan for investment. Following review by Cabinet members after council elections in 2025, the scope of the project has been widened. Building on work done to date, the project will now consider the whole country park rather than just focus on the site's South Shore and includes master planning activity in addition to feasibility and business planning on a larger footprint.
