UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned professional consultancy services to assess the future of Solihull Leisure Centre. The work covers a comprehensive appraisal of future leisure management options and a detailed feasibility study of refurbishment, redevelopment or alternative solutions. It includes project management consultancy and development consultancy services. The requirement is focused on supporting decisions about the leisure centre’s future, including the practicality and implications of different investment and delivery approaches. Work is for the Council in Solihull. The procurement comprised one requirement, covering the full appraisal and feasibility assignment rather than separate service packages.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a competitive below-threshold call-off under a framework, using a selective procedure. Max Associates (Holdings) Ltd was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026, runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 January 2027, and has a value of £49,550 excluding VAT, or £59,460 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was carried out through the competitive framework route. The engagement covers the Council’s appraisal and feasibility requirement for Solihull Leisure Centre, with no separate lots or alternative awards recorded.

This procurement indicates demand from Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council for specialist leisure-sector advisory work combining options appraisal, feasibility assessment, project management consultancy and development consultancy. A credible future competitor would need to assess refurbishment, redevelopment and alternative delivery solutions in a public leisure setting, translate technical and operational findings into practical management options, and support evidence-based investment decisions. Relevant organisations are likely to be consultancies with experience of leisure facilities, public-sector estates or regeneration projects, and the ability to provide structured feasibility and options analysis. The award was made through a competitive framework route, so suppliers seeking similar work from this buyer would also need suitable framework access and the capacity to deliver a focused consultancy assignment.
