    "description": "AWARD \u0026 STANDSTILL PERIOD\nFollowing receipt of best and final tenders on 19th December 2025 the Council has concluded the assessment process and will award a contract under Lot 2 - Agency Agreement. Assessment summaries to the successful and unsuccessful suppliers have been issued as required under Section 50 of the Procurement Act 23 (the \u0027Act\u0027).\nIssuing of this Award Notice will now instigate the standstill period which will not be less than eight-working days (the Standstill Period), in line with section 51 of the Act.\nThe Council reserves the right to amend (extend) the Standstill Period if needed; if this right is exercised, the Contract Award Notice will be updated and affected suppliers will be notified accordingly.\nAfter the Standstill Period has expired, and provided no legal challenge has been made by the end of the Standstill Period or any agreed extension, the Council intends to enter into contracts with the Successful Supplier. Following this, the Council also intends to publish a Contract Details Notice.\nDESCRIPTION\nRushmoor Borough Council (\u0027the council\u0027) invited tenders from suitably experienced leisure facility operators for the operation of a planned new leisure centre to be located in Farnborough as well as the operation of the council\u0027s existing leisure centre \u0026 lido facilities located in Aldershot.\nThe new Farnborough Leisure Centre, which is currently scheduled to open late 2027 / early 2028, will proactively address identified community needs aligned to health, physical\nactivity and social wellbeing.\nThe leisure operator appointed via this formal procurement process will manage both the Aldershot and Farnborough facilities, with the contract split into two distinct phases:\n\u2022 the Interim Phase, during which the contractor will manage the Aldershot facilities and at the request of the Council, provide any input requested in relation to the opening of Farnborough Leisure Facility, and\n\u2022 the Main Phase, during which the contractor will fully operate both facilities\nThe Interim Phase of the Contract is planned to commence shortly\nafterwards from 1st April 2026, at which point the Operator will be required to commence delivery of services at the existing Aldershot facilities to coincide with the summer opening of the Lido.\nThe operator may be asked to provide input into the final design \u0026 configuration of the new Farnborough Leisure Centre where possible within the development programme, as well as\nmobilisation, launch and other pre-opening services for the new centre.\nThe Council\u0027s target date for opening of the new Farnborough facility is late 2027 / early 2028, at which point the contract will enter its Main Phase. The duration of the Interim Phase is dependent on the date the new facility is ready to be opened, but is likely to run for around 18 to 24 months. \nThe interim phase will continue for a maximum of 2 years. However, its duration is dependent on the date when the new facility is ready to be opened so may run for a shorter period.\nThe Main Phase of the contract will involve operation of both the Aldershot facilities and new Farnborough facility \u0026 will then run for a further 15 years. The contract may subsequently be extended by up to 10 years, in further increments to be agreed by both parties up to a maximum term of 25 years.\nCORE SCOPE\nThe scope of services / activities / inputs that the Operator will be responsible for can be summarised as:\n\u2022 Equipment fit out of the new Farnborough Leisure Centre\n\u2022 Operational management of the specified Rushmoor Borough Council leisure facilities;\no Operation, programming, activities \u0026 events\no Marketing, promotion \u0026 communication\no Customer on-boarding, booking, account management, website, back office \u0026 customer service\no Facilities management, Health \u0026 Safety management, Servicing, Repairs \u0026 Maintenance\no Open book performance reporting, partnership working \u0026 continuous improvement\n\u2022 Delivery of the Authority and Public Health priorities to address the wider determinants of health;\n\u2022 Partnership working including;\no Developing a higher profile for community sport\no Advocating the benefits of leisure time and activities.\no Open book performance reporting\no Continuous improvement\nAs allowed for within the design of the competitive flexible procedure used to undertake this procurement, the Council included for additional Council owned leisure facilities (operation of ski centre / administration of tennis courts) within stage 2 (Best \u0026 final tenders) of the process.
