The Contract Notice will be published in the next couple of months to start the procurement and selection of a main provider for the Councils Leisure facilities operational 'back office professional support and systems' contract.
The Councils are currently in outsourced concession contracts for the delivery of Leisure facilities operations, both are due to expire end of March 2024. Work is underway to establish a wholly owned Local Authority Trading Company (LATCo.) to manage their Leisure centres and deliver active health and wellness services for both Council areas, to be operational for April 2024.
