This opportunity falls under the services category within the sports facilities operation sector and is located in Walsall, West Midlands, United Kingdom. The tender is currently active with a submission deadline of 1st August 2019, and it entails an open procurement method following an open procedure (below threshold). The contract is expected to commence on 1st January 2020 and will run until 31st December 2034. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in recreational, cultural, and sporting services, particularly those experienced in operating outdoor pursuit facilities. Companies that offer sailing-school services and have the capability to manage and enhance services for diverse groups, including children and young adults with special needs, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The operator will not only be responsible for maintaining the existing provision but will also have the chance to expand and develop service delivery further. ## Notice Walsall Council's current Outdoor Pursuits Service (the 'Service') operates at Sneyd Water sports Centre (at the former Sneyd High School) and the Aldridge Airport Outdoor & Environmental Education Centre. The Service is currently used by twenty-three school and community groups. The majority of the current service users are children and young adults with special needs. The Service is currently delivered by 4 x FTE staff, supported by 15 casual sessional workers. The Council is looking for a provider to operate and maintain the Service at no cost to the Council. The Service is to be delivered in accordance with industry knowledge and good practice. The Council will require the existing provision to be continued, but the Operator will have scope to expand and develop delivery beyond this.
