P2184 Handsworth Park former Sons of Rest Building

Birmingham City Council is seeking to promote regeneration throughout the city and to promote not only the economic but also the social and environmental wellbeing of its residents and visitors to the city. This includes offering a diverse range of facilities and activities for citizens to participate in and experience.

As part of this aspiration the Council is seeking a Concessionaire to operate the Services at the former Sons of Rest building at Handsworth Park. Birmingham is renowned for being a green city, with numerous parks, areas of open space & open water; where people can be active and enjoy the great outdoors.

Over the past few years we’ve seen a significant increase to the visitor numbers in parks as people are realising the benefits that come from greenspace. The former Sons of Rest building at Handsworth Park offers an opportunity within a heavily urbanised area for a suitable space that can deliver community services/activities and meeting room hire.

The contract will be let under a concession agreement for a period of ten years. Bidders should note that if successful all costs associated with the delivery of the service shall be the responsibility of the Concessionaire.
