Bournemouth Borough Council is seeking expressions of interest from experienced operators that can create, develop and operate a small new zoological* or botanical attraction at Durley Chine on Bournemouth’s seafront.


Durley Chine is located one kilometre west of Bournemouth Pier and set behind some of Bournemouth’s busiest beaches. The area available for the attraction and surrounding grounds is approximately 2500 square metres and sits behind the Durley Inn public house and opposite a beach cafe / restaurant. The site is bounded to the north by cliffs and is adjacent to a public car park to the west. The site’s aspect is south facing. The cliffs to the rear of the site are designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) a national designation for the geological exposures and nature conservation interest.


The facility could include an integral cafe - ancillary to the attraction itself. The Council would be prepared to invest in a younger children’s playground within the site providing it remained publicly accessible and free to use.


Interested parties would need to demonstrate a track record of experience in operating zoological/botanical attractions and submit a business plan that clearly outlines how the facility would be funded, developed and operated. The successful applicant would need to gain a planning consent for any proposals – it is advised that pre-planning advice is sought from Bournemouth’s Planning Department.Bournemouth Council would expect a market valued site rental following development.


For further details please contact Bournemouth Borough Council Parks Team on parks@bournemouth.gov.uk The closing date for submitting expressions of interest is September 4th.

Business Opportunity Ards and North Down Borough Council wishes to appoint a specialist attractions operator to develop and manage the Exploris Sea Life Aquarium, seal sanctuary and associated site at Portaferry, Co. Down, Northern Ireland.


We have determined that continued in-house operation of the Exploris site is not the best management arrangement to optimise the tourism and development potential of the facilities and wider site and wish to enter into an arrangement with a specialist attractions operator/developer probably underpinned by a long-term lease of the site.


We are exploring opportunities with specialist operators/ developers to help us to understand what may be possible and how best to structure a procurement to maximise our, and the operator market’s, ability to deliver our objectives.


If you believe your organisation has the capabilities to help us to achieve our objectives and would wish to inform the potential procurement process, please contact us on exploris@v4services.com for further details.


N.B. Whilst this market engagement exercise is intended to help inform a potential procurement process, it is not part of a formal procurement process and we do not guarantee to undertake a procurement process or to invite any particular contractor to participate in a subsequent procurement. Such procurement, if it takes place, will be subject to a prequalification and subsequent award process, following a competition.
