Description
Forestry England are seeking an operator for a Bike Hire and Retail concession at Kielder Forest
Total Quantity or Scope
Forestry England intend to re-tender a concession opportunity to operate our established bike hire and retail centre in Kielder Village in Q2/Q3 2024, due to expiry of the current lease at the end of December 2024. Our expectation is that we will issue a lease for ten years. The Kielder Bike Hire centre is well positioned to attract and provide services to customers enjoying: • the iconic Lakeside Way multiuser trail around Kielder Water • the extensive network of mountain bike trails • an emerging gravel route network • the Reivers cycle route (cross border) • and road and touring cycling across Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. The Kielder area benefits from a popular sports events programme and there is scope to develop a range of guided or coached experiences from this location. Prospective suppliers are invited to express an interest in this opportunity and have a initial conversation with our Northumberland Recreation Manager ahead of the tender documents being published this Spring/early summer.
