Summary of the contracting process

This procurement is for leisure services: operating North Warwickshire’s leisure centres, including a newly constructed leisure centre in Atherstone. The service covers sports facility operation and leisure-centre management. The buying organisation is MAX ASSOCIATES (HOLDINGS) LIMITED, with North Warwickshire Borough Council acting as the procuring entity and process contact. Delivery is centred on North Warwickshire, specifically the council’s leisure-centre estate and the new facility in Atherstone. The requirement is classified as services and is aimed at an experienced leisure operator able to manage public-facing sports and recreation facilities as an integrated service. It is a single, undivided requirement rather than a set of separate service lots.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure involving selection followed by an invitation to tender. Expressions of interest were due by 5 October 2026 at 23:59 BST, with the award decision period ending by 16 October 2026 at 23:59 BST. The intended contract runs from 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2037, with a possible extension to 30 September 2042; renewal is subject to confirmation. The published overall gross value is £0 in GBP, while the lot value is published as AED 0 gross. Evaluation is weighted 60% price and 40% quality, under the criterion named “Operator procurement”.

This opportunity suits leisure operators with the capability to run multiple public leisure centres and take responsibility for a newly constructed facility. Relevant strengths include sports-facility operations, day-to-day centre management, customer-facing service delivery, staffing, programming and the safe, reliable operation of recreation facilities. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the organisational capacity to manage a long-term council leisure service across North Warwickshire, coordinate operations across existing and new sites, and meet quality requirements alongside a competitive price. The selection and tender stages favour businesses able to present a credible operating model, evidence appropriate leisure-sector experience and show how they would deliver consistent service quality at scale.
