(Report of the Director of Place and Sustainability – to be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Communities). To consider the award of a contract to manage Tottenham Green Leisure Centre, Park Road Leisure Centre, Broad Water Farm Community Centre and Whitehart Lane Sports Centre.

Cabinet considered a report, introduced by the Cabinet Member for Communities, which sought approval to award a twenty year contract to Bidder B (as set out in the exempt part of the report) to manage Tottenham Green Leisure Centre, Park Road Leisure Centre, Broadwater Farm Community Centre and White Hart Lane Community Sports Centre (for up to three years), and to delegate authority to the Director of Place and Sustainability, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Communities, to finalise and issue the contract.

In response to a question Cabinet was advised that there would be an opportunity for service users to engage with the Council with regard to the services provided on a four monthly basis and that this would be considered in the Council’s monitoring of the contract.

It was clarified that the Council set the prices for concessionary users and that the contractor would only have the flexibility to raise non concessionary prices. 

RESOLVED:

1. That the results of the procurement process and, in particular, the evaluation assessment set out in the ‘exempt’ part of the report, be noted.

2. That a twenty year contract be awarded to Bidder B to manage Tottenham Green Leisure Centre, Park Road Leisure Centre, Broadwater Farm Community Centre and White Hart Lane Community Sports Centre (for up to three years), and to delegate authority to the Director of Place and Sustainability, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Communities, to finalise and issue the contract.
