COMMUNITY TENNIS PROGRAMME WITHIN SANDWELL PARKS June 2025 - March 2028
Notice Description
Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council sought to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced operator to manage 3 of its park tennis court facilities, including the provision of a welcoming and accessible community tennis programme. Sandwell Council has benefitted from grant funding from the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to refurbish the existing tennis courts at: - Redhouse Park (5 courts) - Britannia Park (2 Courts) - Brunswick Park (4 courts) The works have included re-surfacing, re-lining, fencing repairs, new nets and the installation of remote access gates / keypads. As part of the LTA grant funding and subsequent Cabinet approval, the Council is seeking to adopt a new approach to the operation and usage of these courts. This will allow a specialist community tennis operator to take commercial bookings and implement a coaching programme suitable for and in line local community needs. The operator is required to make an annual payment to the Council (for the benefit of operating the courts) which will be used to ensure the long-term ongoing maintenance and sustainability of the 3 sites which may include court resurfacing and replacing / renewing perimeter fences when required.
