## Summary

The Staffordshire County Council is undertaking a procurement process for the management and delivery of leisure and cultural facilities, events, and services in Stafford Borough. This long-term concession agreement, valued at £80 million, aims to enhance the local leisure and cultural offerings while also increasing footfall and income generation. The tender period ended on 18th November 2016, and the contract is expected to commence on 1st December 2017, continuing until 30th November 2027. This procurement falls under the recreational, cultural, and sporting services category, with activities centred in Stafford, England.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in leisure and cultural services, particularly those with innovative approaches to managing facilities and events.
