The Council's clear timeline and engagement process offer prospective bidders a structured path towards securing this lucrative contract. ## Notice Rushmoor Borough Council - the 'Council' - is inviting expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced Operators for the management of its existing Aldershot Pools & Lido, and a proposed new Passivhaus certified Farnborough Leisure and Cultural Hub which is scheduled to open in Spring 2027.The Council is targeting appointment of the successful Operator by June 2024. The contract will be split into two distinct phases: (i)the Interim Phase, during which the Operator will manage the Aldershot facility and provide pre-opening services in relation to Farnborough, and (ii)the Main Phase, during which the Operator will fully operate both facilities. The Interim Phase of the Contract will commence on 1st October 2024. The Council's target date for opening of the new Leisure and Cultural Hub facility is spring 2027. The annual estimated value of the Contract in respect of turnover generation for the Interim Period is in the range of PS1m to PS1.5m. In respect of the new facility the current business case projections are that operations, activities and events run from the facility could generate approx. PS4M turnover per annum. The duration of the Interim Phase is dependent upon when the new facility opens but is likely to run for around 3 years. Once the new facility opens the Contract will then run for a further 10 years. The contract may be subsequently extended subject to agreement of both parties by a further 5 years. The first stage of the procurement process will invite Applicants to submit selection questionnaires. The top scoring 5-6 qualified Applicants will then be invited to submit detailed tenders which will be assessed on a 60/40 basis in favour of quality. Following evaluation of Initial Tenders, the Council will have the option of proceeding to award or engage in further dialogue and invite best & final tenders from the highest scoring Bidders.
