Description

The Royal Borough of Kingston is releasing the opportunity to market for the provision of Leisure Management Operator Services for six leisure facilities:
- The Malden Centre
- Weir Archer Athletics & Fitness Centre
- Tolworth Recreation Centre
- Kingston Leisure Centre
- Chessington Sports Centre
- Albany Outdoors

It is anticipated the management contract will be for a period of 10 years with the option of an extension of up to five years at the Council's discretion.

There will be a staggered start to the contract as follows:
- October 2025: Chessington Sports Centre and Albany Outdoors
- April 2026: The Malden Centre, Weir Archer Athletics & Fitness Centre, Tolworth
Recreation Centre
- Spring 2027: Kingston Leisure Centre (new build facility scheduled to open).

The Council is using the Competitive Dialogue Procedure under Regulation 30 of the PCR for the procurement of this Contract as it considers that it can best meet the Council's objectives for the service requirements and commercial terms in accordance with Regulation 26(4)(a)(i) to (iii).

Bidders are expected to have a major role in defining the solution which cannot be specified at this stage, as the Council is unable to assess without in-depth dialogue on what the market can offer. It is our intention to discuss during dialogue solutions across the scope of the service requirements to identify efficiencies and service improvement opportunities that could be included in the final service delivery plans. The Council is also interested in exploring the agency model as a non-mandatory variant option.

The procurement documents will be available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge at https://procontract.due-north.com/
