Review of the effectiveness and financial sustainability of Visitor and Cycle Hire Centres

The Authority is looking to engage a consultant to undertake a full review of the effectiveness and financial sustainability of its Visitor Centres and Cycle Hire Centres. You will assess the suitability of each location (geographically and spatially), consider any potential new or alternative locations, with the long-term intention that we are able to maintain a network of Visitor Centres, although what these look like, where they are, how they are structured/staffed and what they offer is all open for consideration. You will need to review the operations of each centre and the management of centres as a whole, consider how volunteers can be used, and assess ways of working to allow you to design an innovative future operating model and make recommendations for how each of our current or potential sites can best contribute towards achieving our aims of: • Becoming financially sustainable. • Most effectively engaging with the public to achieve the aims of the National Park Management Plan (NPMP). A full tender pack including details of the scope and outcomes of the works alongside a brief can be obtained once an expression of interest is received by emailing Catherine.johnson@peakdistrict.gov.uk and requesting the tender pack reference 'Commercial and Retail Consultant - Visitor Services'
