II.1.4 Short Description North Tyneside Council (the "Authority") is conducting a procurement of a long-term operator of Rising Sun Farm, Kings Road, Wallsend ("Rising Sun Farm") in accordance with Regulation 19 of the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016.

The Authority owns the freehold of the land and buildings located at Rising Sun Farm.

The services anticipated to be provided by the successful operator at Rising Sun Farm by the Authority for this opportunity are summarised below (though full details are set out in the Request to Participate):

1. maintenance of all farm buildings and financial outgoings;

2. delivery of adult social care and day opportunities for vulnerable adults, people with a learning disability and / or autism;

3. management and development of the livery;

4. management and development of existing and future commercial tenants and occupational interests;

5. animal management including appropriate care and accommodation;

6. effective agricultural land management;

7. development of community engagement policies;

11. designating appropriate areas for bio-diversity net gain;

12. complying with the latest farming standards, including all necessary consents, authorisations and registrations; and

13. carrying out riparian ownership duties regarding the watercourse.

At this stage, the above list of services is indicative only and contains the broad categorisation of services rather than particulars. Bidders should assume that the services actually required will broadly be within the scope of services listed above but will also include extensions to related or ancillary services within each categorisation. The actual scope of services required may be narrower than that set out above.

Full details of the Authority's minimum requirements are set out in the Request to Participate.
