Marine Hall Fleetwood - Soft Market Test

Wyre Council is keen to explore options for the future operation and development of the Marine Hall Complex in Fleetwood. The council’s aspiration is for an innovative and economically viable ‘Entertainment Hub’ that offers an enhanced range of entertainment, leisure, cultural and commercial activities for both residents and visitors to this area. It should be noted that, whilst the Council is wholly committed to providing a modern community focused entertainment facility, there is an overriding need to reduce the annual operating cost of the service whilst raising the standards of service delivery.

The soft market test is intended to allow interested operators with appropriate experience to outline their views and provide information with no commitment from themselves or the council. It is not part of a formal procurement process, and the council is not guaranteeing to carrying out such a process.

Operators are required to login to the opportunity on the portal and complete the questionnaire. which can then be submitted through the portal. Alternatively a copy of the questionnaire can be requested by contacting Ben McCabe; ben.mccabe@wyre.gov.uk. The soft market test will also provide an opportunity for organisatons to participate in a market interest day which will provisionally take place w/c 29th July 2024.
