The intended purchase is a comprehensive, turnkey provision covering covered practice bays, integrated golf-ball tracking, customer booking and payment systems, and facilities for practice, gaming and social entertainment. It also includes associated infrastructure and lighting, plus ongoing maintenance, lifecycle replacement and technical support. The council is seeking an end-to-end solution spanning design, technology, installation, support and operation. The procurement is primarily for goods, with the facility and its associated services intended for delivery at Belleisle Golf Course. This is at the planning stage: the council is conducting market scoping and requesting information to understand available solutions and supplier interest ahead of a potential contract. It is not an invitation to tender. The council expects a further notice on 18 January 2027. No procedure, contract duration or estimated value is set out at this stage. The planned requirement is presented as a single lot, with no division into separately described packages. The council is particularly interested in the market’s range of solutions and whether providers can deliver a complete service, including the operating model. This engagement is intended to inform the council’s understanding before any potential procurement proceeds. This requirement is likely to suit suppliers able to combine golf technology and facility delivery with ongoing operational support, either directly or through a delivery partnership. The council is looking for covered golf practice bays, ball-tracking technology, booking and payment systems, and practice, gaming and social entertainment functions within an integrated facility. Providers should be prepared to address the associated infrastructure and lighting, maintenance, lifecycle replacement and technical support as part of an end-to-end offer. A commercial operating model that minimises the council’s day-to-day operational input is of particular interest. The council also wants evidence of a proven track record delivering comparable technology-enabled golf entertainment facilities in the United Kingdom. This planning-stage market exercise may help relevant providers prepare for a potential future competition.»} dagdagжәк_outer? Wait final ends stray?
