In plain English

Horsham District Council is looking for an operator to run four leisure sites: Pavilions in the Park, The Bridge, Billingshurst Leisure Centre and Steyning Leisure Centre. The contract also covers designing and delivering an Active Wellbeing Service of gym-based and community-based programmes to get less active residents moving and improve health. The estimated value is £136,800,000.

What the buyer wants

• Operate the four named leisure facilities, including their pools, gyms, studios and other facilities. • Design and deliver an Active Wellbeing Service with both facility-based and neighbourhood-based programmes. • Work in partnership with local communities, health partners and stakeholders to increase physical activity and reduce health inequalities across the District.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The estimated value of £136,800,000 and the requirement to run four large leisure sites, including pools and gyms, alongside a district-wide wellbeing service would most likely rule out small businesses, as the notice describes a contract of very large scale.
