Description
The original contract notice 2024/S 000-037050, published on 15 November 2024, stated an intended contract duration of 10 years plus 3 X 5 Year options to extend. Following completion of the procurement process and consideration of the preferred delivery model, Full Council on 27 January 2026 approved Option C, which included: • Enhanced capital investment in facilities; and • Appointment of the preferred operator under a revised commercial model. As part of this approved option, the contract duration was extended to 15 years to: • Ensure long-term financial sustainability of the operating model; • Reflect the scale of capital investment and lifecycle requirements; and • Enable delivery of the Council's strategic leisure and community objectives. The published contract award therefore reflects the approved 15-year contract term, as authorised by Full Council.
