Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, led by the Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Merthyr Tudful Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council, a sub-central public authority, under Welsh devolved regulations. The process concerns the "MTCBC Leisure Services Procurement" contract, which aims to procure leisure services from 2025-2026. This tender falls under the services category, specifically sports facilities operation services, within the region of UKL15, United Kingdom. The procurement method involves a concession and is above the threshold, with a gross value of £18,000,000. Key information includes a future notice date of 1st December 2025, and the contract period is anticipated to start on 1st September 2026, potentially extending to 2041. The buying organisation is located at Canolfan Ddinesig Civic Centre, Merthyr Tydfil, with contact accessible via procurement@merthyr.gov.uk.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the operation of sports facilities. It's particularly suitable for those classified as social enterprises, charities, or voluntary organisations (VCSE), given its concession nature and suitability considerations. Given the long contract period and substantial value, businesses with expertise in large-scale service management and those capable of meeting the requirements of public sector partnerships will find this tender appealing. Such businesses could enhance their portfolio by participating in this significant public spending initiative while contributing to the development of local community leisure services. The initially planned renewal option further enhances its attractiveness for long-term strategic planning and investment.
