## Summary

Dumfries and Galloway Council is initiating a tender process for operating the Dock Park sports facilities in Dumfries, Scotland, which include trampolines, bowling, mini golf, and putting within a fenced area. Classified under the 'general public services' category, this planning stage procurement opportunity is designed to identify suitable operators for the sports facilities, with the communication of future notices scheduled for 20th April 2026. The procurement process entails a trial period of one year, followed by a potential three-year contract contingent upon satisfactory review. The Council will maintain the grounds during the initial year, aiming for the supplier to undertake these tasks beyond the trial period.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in leisure services, sports facility management, or community recreation. It is particularly suited for companies capable of proposing innovative operational strategies to enhance the recreational offerings at Dock Park. The procurement method seeks collaboration from companies that can offer sustainable, engaging, and flexible management solutions, creating room for growth and exposure within the regional sporting community. As Dumfries and Galloway Council welcomes proposals, businesses with expertise in grounds maintenance alongside operational management would find a prosperous avenue in this initiative.
