About this contract

Watergate Bay Touring Park is an AA 5 Pennant graded park, a David Bellamy Gold Award park, a Visit England 4* park, and a Green Tourism Silver Award park. We are situated four miles north of Newquay, 10 miles south of Padstow, on the B3276 coast road, in beautiful countryside designated by the National Trust as an area of outstanding natural beauty, and only 1/2 mile from the glorious beach of Watergate Bay. The size of the beach guarantees it is never overcrowded. At low tide the beach is two and a half miles long. There are also plenty of rock pools for the children to play in as well as designated safe and life guarded swimming areas in the sea. The pitches on our park consist of non-electric pitches, 6 amp electric pitches (end of July and August only), 10 amp electric pitches, 16 amp electric pitches and super pitches which are equipped with a 16 amp electric supply and mains water/drainage point. Each of these pitches are approximately 9 metres x 9 metres. There are also large 16 amp electric pitches measuring approximately 9 metres deep by 12 metres across as well as extra large pitches measuring 12 by 12 metres. All the 16 amp pitches have grass and hard standing options. We are a camp site that incorporates a waste management protocols and green energy management system. This includes for may years leaving the option of caravan storage to avoid people towing caravans on the road, as well as enabling people to have smaller cars so they do not need to tow caravans. We have installed several solar panel systems over the previous 10 years, as well as more recently EV chargers for our customers. We previously have installed Biomass Wood Pellet boilers to help move away from fossil fuels but due to recent problems with the boilers and new evidence showing they are not as environmentally friendly as first thought, we have had to currently resort back to just using oil boilers. Looking at the near future, we are looking at installing heat pumps to replace the oil boilers when the technology advances enough to cope with the supply and demand we need. We would like to install further solar panel systems but have reached the limit on what our local grid can take. With the previous statements in mind and the local grid limitations, installing battery back up systems to help utilise our current solar generation will help minimise our peak usage of the local grid which would only increase due to the supply needed just for the future heat pumps. Also, the battery storage system will also help with charging of the increasing numbers of Electric cars as due to the nature of our business, the majority of the charging will happen over night when the people are in their tents and caravans asleep. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
