Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Warwick District Council is currently in the procurement stage for the Leisure Services Contract, specifically focusing on recreational, cultural, and sporting services, within the UKG13 region. The contract has undergone a modification, published on 27 March 2026, to establish an agency model for VAT purposes without changing the overall nature or scope of services. This adjustment aligns with the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016, ensuring continued management and operation of leisure facilities by Sports and Leisure Management Ltd. The contract remains active following its signing on 28 April 2017, with an initial duration of 5400 days.

This tender offers distinct growth opportunities for businesses in the leisure services industry, notably for those equipped to manage and operate council leisure portfolios while accommodating the new operational and VAT agency model. Large-scale operators with an interest in recreation and cultural services would find themselves well-suited to compete, as the modifications provide a financially effective model that enhances surplus distribution between the authority and supplier. This represents a strategic opportunity for businesses to establish a robust partnership with the Warwick District Council and leverage their capabilities within a well-defined contractual framework.
