About this contract

Forestry England are seeking a watersports provider to deliver activities (non-motorised) at Mallards Pike Lake in the Forest of Dean. Mallards Pike Lake attracts approximately 165,000 visitors per annum through the busy Go Ape course, Segways, running and walking trails, access to the family cycle trail/Colliers trail, a popular café and picnic area. The lake currently hosts educational providers, private/exclusive use operators as well as other permitted permit holders, often on the lake at the same time, adhering to the max capacity of 30 people/boards per sessions. Forestry England manages these bookings through a permissions system. Forestry England are looking for an operator to improve the watersports provision at the lake by offering pay and play options for SUP, Canoeing and Kayaking - based around peak times at weekends and through the school holidays.
