What is being bought
This is a pre-market testing exercise to inform our tender exercise. The overall aim is to identify a provider to take on the operation of the Astley Burf Education Centre that will continue to offer a safe outdoor learning experience to young people and make the centre financially sustainable into the future. That operator will develop the facility into a more focussed learning environment, based on robust operational procedures and clear plans to see the centre continue to provide great experiences for our young children.
