South Derbyshire District Council is seeking Expressions of Interest for an exciting new design & build project to provide a spectacular new play area for Rosliston Forestry Centre. We would also like to invite prospective suppliers to a Supplier Day on Monday 23rd March to view the site. Project Outline Rosliston Forestry Centre is managed by South Derbyshire District Council and attracts over 200,000 visitors a year. It is a popular tourist destination within the National Forest, within easy reach of large populations of Derby, Burton on Trent and Leicester. In 2025 we installed a new Sparrowhawk play feature which has attracted significant interest and has increased our visitor numbers. The remainder of the play equipment on the site is tired and not of the quality of the new sparrowhawk. Therefore, the Council intend to replace the play area with a bespoke, unique 'spectacular' woodland themed new play area, fitting for a major tourist attraction within the National Forest. We therefore welcome Expressions of Interest from suitably competent companies to make a spectacular new play area for the forestry centre. Please email sddcprocurement@v4services.com to express your interest in this opportunity. Supplier Day When: Monday 23rd March 2026 Where: Rosliston Forestry Centre, Burton Road, Rosliston, Swadlincote. Derbyshire.
