Delamere Forest Concession Opportunity
No value: the buyer is not paying for this — the notice is flagged a concession, so the money runs the other way.
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
Forestry England publishes Recreation, Culture & Sport work continuously — 12 notices, roughly one every 49 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
57% of Forestry England’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
Forestry England have a potential future opportunity at Delamere Forest for the provision of a concession installation.
Forestry England are currently researching potential commercial uses for the current bike hire building on site.
We are seeking interest and feedback from the wider market as to potential appropriate activities/services that would be a cohesive fit with the forestry environment and our visitor profile at the Delamere site.
Delamere Forest is the largest woodland in Cheshire, covering an area of 972 hectares.
A mixture of woodland, internationally important meres and mosses, as well as Old Pale Heights – the highest point in the Cheshire Plain – and several Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
Delamere has excellent transport links and lies between the Manchester, Liverpool and Chester conurbations.
Welcoming approximately 750,000 visitors each year, Delamere is a popular destination for outdoor activities like walking, running, cycling and horse riding.
There are also a number of annual sports events, as well as Forestry England’s annual music series, Forest Live.
As one of Forestry England’s flagship sites, the visitor facilities are centred around the state-of-the-art Visitor Centre, which was built in 2020.
Facilities include a number of carparks, a café, education, Go Ape, waymarked trails and several long-distance Public Rights of Way that cut through the forest.
There’s also a Forest Holidays location within Delamere, consisting of 62 luxury cabins and a retreat.
