## Summary

The London Borough of Enfield has awarded a contract for the management of its leisure facilities to Greenwich Leisure Limited (GLL, trading as Better). The contract covers venues such as Albany Leisure Centre, Edmonton Leisure Centre, and Southbury Leisure Centre, among others. This tender was conducted through an award procedure without prior publication due to extreme urgency, following the end of the previous contract. The contract will commence on 4 December 2023.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the recreational, cultural, and sporting services sector to engage in the management of Enfield Council's leisure facilities. Companies with expertise in operating leisure centres and pool facilities, particularly those with experience in contract management with local authorities, are well-suited to compete. The future procurement exercise by the Council will involve market testing sessions to engage a permanent provider in the long term, providing further opportunities for businesses looking to grow in this sector.

## Notice

Direct award concerning the management and operation of Enfield Council's Leisure Centres (Albany Leisure Centre, Edmonton Leisure Centre, Southbury Leisure Centre and Southgate Leisure Centre) along with Arnos Pool and Bramley Bowls Centre.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Enfield Council has four Leisure Centres (Albany Leisure Centre, Edmonton Leisure Centre, Southbury Leisure Centre, and Southgate Leisure Centre), along with Arnos Pool and Bramley Bowls Centre. Since 2010 Fusion Lifestyle Ltd. has managed all six of the facilities under contract from the Council. Fusion and Enfield Council have come to a mutual agreement to end the contract on 3rd December 2023. The Council has made a decision to award a contract to Greenwich Leisure Limited (GLL, trading as Better) to operate the Council's leisure centres. This contract will be for an initial period of three years, with an option to extend it for a further two years. **Please note** Section V2.1 - This is not yet concluded. The contract which the Council has made a decision to award will commence on 4 December 2023.

### Procurement Information

The contract will be awarded through a negotiated procedure without prior publication pursuant to regulation 32 (2) (c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. This regulation allows the Council to award a contract without prior publication "insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures cannot be complied with". The urgency in this case results from the forthcoming end of the Council's contract with Fusion on short notice, with the result that a full procurement cannot be undertaken at this time without a potential delay in continued provision of leisure services. The Council is developing a longer-term strategy for the management of the leisure services and will be carrying out a procurement exercise to engage a permanent provider in due course. A market testing session will be arranged as part of the future procurement and will be advertised via Contracts Finder and Find a Tender Service for providers to express an interest.
