The brief

Soft market testing DWP is engaging with the market early in order to secure valuable feedback and establish the following: - What the appetite is amongst suppliers to provide these services to DWP? - How attractive is the proposed contract to suppliers? - Which commercial models are used for this kind of service?

There is a questionnaire attached to the Prior Invitation Notice (PIN).

It is the intention of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to put in place an arrangement for the management and operation of the Quarry House leisure centre in Leeds.

The centre is based at Quarry House, Quarry Hill, Leeds, LS2 7UA.

The successful supplier will be required to manage and operate the centre on the department's behalf providing a fully functional sports and leisure centre for permitted users.

This will also include the management of the café area.

The main purpose of the facility is to promote and encourage active and healthy lifestyles for government employees and other permitted users and to actively encourage membership from other local organisations and participation from local schools, disadvantaged and community groups.

Site visits can be arranged for interested parties capable of running a sports and leisure centre, to view the facility, discuss returned questionnaires and answer any further queries regarding the opportunity.

DWP would hold these visits in early December 2023.
