Please contact Rose Urban via email: rose.urban@redbridge.gov.uk to arrange an appointment with the team here. Please consider these questions which we explore when we talk to providers: Based on the above outline of services, in four key service groupings of Leisure, Libraries, Parks and Culture, if a tender were to go out for all these services in a single package would you be interest in bidding? If not would you be interested if the opportunity were available to bid to run some but not all of these service groupings? If so, which groups of services would you be interested in bidding for? Please consider, and explain, if you would consider the opportunity as part of a consortium and if so which service areas you might consider? What would be your preferred length of contract, 5, 10 or 15 years and why? Would you be able to bring capital investment into the assets to improve services? If you did that how would you seek to achieve a return on investment?
