    Brief

    Following a successful trial period of open water swimming activities in the city docks, we are seeking a qualified provider to establish a long-term concession contract to deliver open water swimming as a permanent leisure activity. This opportunity involves managing and operating organized swimming sessions in open water environments, providing equipment, safety supervision, and instruction to members of the public. The selected provider will be responsible for all operational aspects including scheduling, participant management, health and safety compliance, and maintenance of facilities. This is a business opportunity for experienced leisure activity providers to develop a sustainable revenue stream while serving the community's recreational needs.
