The contract, classified under CPV code 92610000 for sports facilities operation services, is located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement process is complete, with a total contract value of £4,177,000, and the award notification was published on 20th July 2022. The award was granted to Wealden Leisure Ltd trading as Freedom Leisure, with an awarded value of £149,000. The Council has conducted this process in compliance with its Constitution and the relevant Concession Contracts Regulations 2016. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses in the sports management and leisure services sector. Companies that can offer innovative leisure solutions, including supplementary capital investment options, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The early engagement notice indicated interest in integrating capital investment into the service model, which may attract organisations looking to enhance service delivery and facility upgrades, therefore broadening their competitive edge in the market. ## Notice North Northamptonshire Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced Supplier to provide Leisure Management Services in line with the requirements of its detailed specification for up to five (5) years, in order to bring the end date in line with the contracts for the Wellingborough and East Northamptonshire areas. This alignment will allow North Northamptonshire Council to take an authority-wide view of its future leisure provision over the longer term. Additional information: This contract is a concession style contract and as such, the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 (and the associated thresholds) have been considered ahead of publication of this opportunity. Analysis of turnover has been considered and applied in determining the application of the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016, which states at point 8. (3) that "the value of a concession contract shall be the total turnover of the concessionaire generated over the duration of the contract, net of value added tax, as estimated by the concession granter". Using an appropriately objective method, the Council has determined the turnover of the service to be below the value at which the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 would be applicable. The methodology considered the known turnover value for three (3) years (pre-2020), divided by 3 and then multiplied by 5, to provide a five-year turnover value, which was below the value at which the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 must be applied. As such, this procurement process was managed by the Council in accordance with the requirements of its Contract Procedure Rules, as set out in its Constitution. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9f234924-3976-47c3-b52d-b9aa94bebc99 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 9 May 2022 | | Future notice date | 3 Feb 2022 | | Award date | 19 Jul 2022 | | Contract period | 15 Aug 2022 - 15 Aug 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,177,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £149,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHAMPTONSHIRE | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN16 8TL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF25 North Northamptonshire | | Local authority | North Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Northall | | Westminster constituency | Kettering | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WEALDEN LEISURE LTD TRADING AS FREEDOM LEISURE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92610000 - Sports facilities operation services ## Release History - 20 Jul 2022 at 07:41 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9f234924-3976-47c3-b52d-b9aa94bebc99 - 20 Jan 2022 at 09:32 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62d697c2-78c2-44a6-8f87-7bd88b3ece41 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9f234924-3976-47c3-b52d-b9aa94bebc99 20th July 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62d697c2-78c2-44a6-8f87-7bd88b3ece41 20th January 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/nnc/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
