The brief

Southwark Council (the "contracting authority") is seeking to appoint a leisure management provider to operate its leisure facility portfolio.

The term of the proposed contract is seven years (eighty four months) to commence in June 2016, with a potential extension period or periods, at the council's discretion, of up seven years (eighty four months).

The facilities included within the proposed leisure management contract are: • The Castle (opening in summer 2015) • Camberwell Leisure Centre • Dulwich Leisure Centre • Peckham Pulse Healthy Living Centre • Seven Islands Leisure Centre • Surrey Docks Water Sports Centre. • Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Sports Facility • Southwark Park Athletics Centre; • Management of the contracting authority's sports bookings.

The estimated range in income generated under the contract, over the initial term of seven years and the potential extension period of a further seven years is between £70,000,000 and £140,000,000.

Over the last few years the contracting authority has invested more than £50 million in its leisure centres.

This includes major refurbishments at Dulwich, Camberwell and Surrey Docks Watersports Centre, upgrades at Peckham Pulse and Seven Islands as well as a brand new centre for Elephant and Castle and another planned for Canada Water.

This has resulted in a substantial increase in user numbers with over 1.4 million visits last year compared to 900,000 in 2010/11.

The contracting authority is keen to find ways to further increase the levels of usage to ensure that the service contributes strongly to the social values and health agendas.

In view of this, the contracting authority has committed to introduce free swim and gym to all borough residents on all day Fridays, and from 2pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

The pilot with targeted groups commenced in May 2015, with the intention to extend the initiative to all borough residents at the start of the new contract in June 2016.
