The procurement process aims to appoint a Delivery Partner to deliver and operate a Closed Road Cycle Circuit Facility in the Leckwith area of Cardiff (The Scheme). The Scheme is a priority development for National Governing Bodies for Cycling, Triathlon and Athletics (Running) and has been identified as a Principal Legacy Development for the Tour de France, which comes to Wales in 2027. It is the Council’s intention to procure a Delivery Partner (who in turn may appoint a Developer and/or Operator) through an open procurement process and for the parties to enter into a Development Agreement for the construction of the project. Once constructed, a Property Lease will be entered into together with a Management Agreement outlining core expectations for the operation of the Scheme. The Scheme is anticipated to cost in the order of c£4.5m and the aspiration is for this to be funded through Legacy Funding and other associated Grants, some of which has already been secured. Other than provision of the land (via long-lease) and supporting with grant applications where appropriate, the Council will not be funding or financially supporting the delivery and operation of The Closed Road Circuit by any other means and any funding shortfall will need to be met by the Delivery Partner. The Delivery Partner will, of course, factor in the revenue generated from operating the Facility and the Council would anticipate this is factored into consideration of the upfront costs of the Scheme. The proposed site for the Circuit is in the heart of Leckwith (See Annex 1) adjacent to other sports facilities and within the parameters of the wider Leckwith Sporting Campus and as such, the Delivery Partner shall be required to establish and maintain an active and regular working relationship with neighbouring facilities, in particular those immediately adjacent to the site for access and parking. The Council and National Governing Bodies (NGBs - Cycling, Triathlon, Athletics) have progressed the Scheme design to Stage 3 and submitted a planning application. Prior to any exchange of contracts, the Council and NGBs will have progressed the design through to Stage 4. The Primary objective is to ensure that the Scheme operates as a high-quality, accessible, inclusive and financially sustainable community and sporting facility. The facility shall support: • Cycling clubs, development and training sessions. • Triathlon clubs, development and training sessions. • Running clubs, development and training sessions. • Learn-to-Ride and cycle skills and confidence programmes. • Casual and recreational participation. • Community health and wellbeing activities, particularly targeting local catchment communities. • Schools, colleges, universities, youth g... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/cardiff-closed-road-circuit-delivery-and-operation-ocds-h6vhtk-0788f4) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 37410000, 45000000, 50000000, 79993000, 92000000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 31/03/2027 to 31/03/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F097678-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-10-15T17:03:54.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-20T09:14:26.043Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-0788f4
