UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Warwickshire Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a leisure operator to manage a series of facilities, including Atherstone Leisure Centre, Polesworth Sports Centre, and Coleshill Leisure Centre, amongst others. The procurement, classified under management-related services, aims to secure a tender that can fulfil strategic outcomes while optimising payments to the authority. This procurement initiative is set within the region of Atherstone, UK, and the planned contract commencement is in summer 2026. Business entities are encouraged to engage in preliminary market engagements, with the next milestone due on 27th June 2025. The process is facilitated through the CSW-JETS e-tendering portal to ease participation and notifications across local district councils.

The leisure operator tender offers a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in management-related services, particularly for those with expertise in operating sports and leisure facilities. Companies with innovative management solutions and the capability to enhance leisure facility operations would be well-positioned to compete. This contract encompasses both existing facility management and strategic input into the development of new leisure centre features. With a long-term commitment expected until potentially 2046, successful bidders have the prospect to establish enduring relationships with the local authority and contribute to the enhancement of community resources. Engaging in this tender could significantly augment a business’s portfolio, expanding its presence within the local government sector.
