To award the contract for the management of Fareham and Holly Hill Leisure Centres.

The current contract for the management of Fareham and Holly Hill Leisure Centres expires on 30 September 2020.

In 2018 the Council commenced a procurement process to appoint an operator for the new leisure centre contract to commence 01 October 2020.

The Council’s key requirements for the new leisure centre management contract include:

     i.       Capital investment in both Centres, but particularly Fareham Leisure Centre to deliver improved revenue;

    ii.      Operation of both Centres in accordance with the Council’s specification which seeks to deliver an improved quality of service;

  iii.       Financial proposals which deliver enhanced revenue positions in comparison to the current contract fee.

The preferred bid has been evaluated against the specified evaluation criteria that was established at the start of the process. This bid scores well in both the services (or quality of submission) and their technical proposals which demonstrate good proposals in terms of the capital investment.

The report summarises the bid including the financial submission and recommends the award of contract to the preferred bidder.
