This project aims to enhance participation in football within the local community, particularly among under-represented groups. Interested parties must submit their bids by 21 January 2022, while the initial contract is scheduled to commence in September 2023, potentially lasting for 10 years with an option to extend up to 15 years. The total value of the procurement is estimated at £4.8 million, classified under sports facilities operation services, and the procurement method is an open procedure below threshold. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focusing on sports management, facility operations, and community engagement initiatives. Companies experienced in providing sports services, particularly those aimed at enhancing accessibility and participation in football, would be well-suited to compete. By securing this contract, operators will not only contribute to local health and community outcomes but also potentially benefit from additional operations at other Council sports facilities during the contract term. ## Notice Portsmouth City Council - 'the Council' - is inviting applications from suitably qualified and experienced operators for the operation of a football hub at King George V Playing Fields, Portsmouth. The Council is seeking to secure a strategic partner who will work with the Council to develop the game in the city and address a number of key local outcomes, including: o Increasing levels of physical activity, leading to reductions in obesity and costs of inactivity due to preventable illness o Increasing participation in football by under-represented groups or groups with barriers to access o Sustaining male youth and adult football o Increasing the women and girls' game in the city o Growing opportunities for pan-disability football The Council is in the process of bidding for grant funding from the Premier League, The FA and the Government's Football Foundation. Once secured this funding will be used to fund the redevelopment of the site which will encompass replacement of the existing pavilion building, updating the current landscaping & parking provisions and installation of two new Artificial Grass Pitches (AGP's). To achieve funding from the Football Foundation, the Council must have a deliverable scheme, with planning consent, ready for the April 2022 funding window. The site will also retain a number of grass pitches which operators may also include for within optional Lot 2 additional proposals. There may also be further opportunities over the term of the contract for the successful operator to expand delivery of operations to other existing or newly developed Council owned football facilities, without limitation in respect of relevant Council sites or potential revenue estimates. The initial term of the contract will be for approx. 10 years, dependent upon the exact date on which services commence. The contract may be extended at the option of the Council to a maximum total term of 15 years, in increments to be agreed. The Council is targeting operational commencement from September 2023, however the exact operational commencement date may be brought forwards or put back in relation to some or all of the services, dependent upon funding status, securing of approvals and completion of the required redevelopment works. The first year of operations under the contract will run for approx. 7 months to completion of the Council's financial year in April 2024. All subsequent years will be in line with the Council's financial year definition and will run from April to April. The Council's revenue turnover projection for the site, at maturity of the business model, is approx. ?320K a year. This figure is a non-binding estimate only which maybe subject to significant above and below fluctuations dependent upon the commercial performance of the facility / operator and / or the addition of any further facilities to the scope of the arrangements over the term of the contract.
