## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council is seeking to appoint a leisure operator for the management and maintenance of its sports facilities. This contract is classified under recreational, cultural, and sporting services, with an estimated contract value of £21 million. The procurement process was initiated through a selective, competitive procedure with negotiation. The contract is set to commence on 1 May 2018 and will last for ten years, with an option for a five-year extension, contingent upon demonstrating value for money. The initial tendering process ended on 31 July 2017 and is now at the award stage, with the contract awarded on 12 December 2017.

This contract presents significant opportunities for companies in the leisure and sporting sector to expand their business capabilities. Particularly suited to larger organisations capable of managing extensive facilities and services, this contract could also appeal to businesses specialising in maintenance, management, and service contracts for leisure facilities. As the successful bidder will have full operational responsibility, this is a valuable chance for firms looking to enhance their service portfolios and foster long-term relationships with local government entities.

## Notice

The Council wishes to appoint a leisure operator to operate and maintain the Council's leisure facilities and to work with the Council constructively during any periods of upgrade, new build or refurbishment during the term of the contract. It is anticipated that the contract will be for 10 years with the option for a further 5 years if it can be demonstrated that this represents value for money for the Council. It is envisaged that the leisure operator will take full responsibility for all maintenance, service contracts and repairs. During the life of the contract there may be additional facilities that are not currently planned. Additional information: Access to the procurement documents is restricted. An email requesting data room access to Beverley.thompson@wokingham.gov.uk will result in an email with a link to the Dropbox data. This notice is linked to OJEU notice 2017/S 072-137130.
