## Summary

The Cambridge City Council is offering a long-term opportunity for the Ross Street Community Centre, with an eleven-year lease and a concession contract allowing for a potential fourteen-year extension. This contract aims to provide a multi-purpose community space focused on creative, educational, and general community activities, with a strong emphasis on local community use. The procurement process has reached the award stage, having been published on 21 December 2021, and the contract will commence on 21 March 2022, concluding on 27 April 2033.
