Tender description

Forestry England have a future concession requirement for up to 4 attraction providers at our High Lodge site in the East England Forest District. The attraction providers must deliver family leisure activities which add to our visitor experience onsite whilst encouraging physical activity and increasing customer stay duration. The attractions must occur at peak visitor times (i.e., weekends and school holidays) and appeal to families. Forestry England are currently scoping our requirements to ensure that the specification of requirements and future tender documentation accurately reflects the offerings of the outdoor attractions market. We invite interested companies from the market to register their interest in this future requirement and provide feedback on potential clarifications on the feasibility of our emerging plans. We also invite suppliers to provide suggestions on potential attractions that they believe would be a suitable fit with the High Lodge site: https://www.forestryengland.uk/high-lodge

Suppliers can register for these systems through the Panacea Procurement Portal at any time.
