Description

Chiltern District Council's vision is to:
Provide accessible, affordable, sustainable and high quality leisure facilities that meet the future needs of residents, enabling them to lead active and healthy lifestyles
One of the key challenges to help achieve the Council's vision is to replace its largest leisure centre, Chiltern Pools in Amersham which is coming to the end of its operational life. The existing operator contract is scheduled to come to an end in March 2020. To identify and address future needs the Council undertook a sports facility and leisure needs assessment in 2015 that highlighted a clear need to replace Chiltern Pools Leisure Centre in order to meet the future needs of Chilterns residents. www.chiltern.gov.uk/background

The Council has also undertaken a public consultation to gauge residents' appetite for developing a new leisure centre facility. The results demonstrated overwhelming support to take the project forward www.chiltern.gov.uk/consultationresults including bringing the surrounding community facilities (library, nursery and community halls) into one building. The ultimate aim is to create a new state of the art leisure/community hub facility that will serve the needs of residents for the next thirty years and beyond. www.chiltern.gov.uk/chilternpoolsredevelopment

Looking Forward
Following the completion of the leisure needs assessment and community consultation the Council wishes to move the project forward and is now seeking to appoint a specialist leisure consultant to:
 develop an outcome based leisure operator contract to tender the operation of the current and proposed facilities
 support the procurement process from the point of soft market testing through to the appointment of an operator to deliver the outcome based contract from 1st April 2020

Closing date for submissions is 12 noon on 19th March 2018, please contact Paul Nanji, Principal Leisure and Wellbeing Manager at LHunter@chiltern.gov.uk for further information.
