In plain English
Birmingham City Council is looking for suppliers to run recreational and leisure activities in selected parks across the city. You can bid for one park, multiple parks, or all of them. The contract runs for 5 years once signed, and this opportunity stays open for 4 years (until February 2027).
What the buyer wants
• Set up and run recreational or leisure activities in one or more Birmingham parks (e.g. sports facilities, outdoor classes, fitness activities) • Cover all your own costs including planning permission, building regulations, utilities (water/power), and staffing • Not sub-license or delegate the contract to anyone else • Avoid proposing open-air cinemas, high ropes courses, mobile catering, or static catering (these are handled separately)
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
You will need significant upfront capital to obtain planning permission, building regulations approval, and connect utilities. Most small trades lack these resources and experience. Also, the Council has received no suitable bids previously, suggesting the financial or operational barriers are high.
