This procurement relates to the Council appointing an operator to undertake the management of three (3) leisure facilities within Milton Keynes including Bletchley Leisure Centre, Woughton Leisure Centre and Windmill Hill Golf course. The total contract award value stated in this notice is the tendered sum for the full possible contract period of 15 years (i.e. the initial contract period of 10 years plus the full potential extension period of 5 years) at the point of signature. This figure comprises the estimated value of the management of the 3 leisure facilities and is indicative only. It is expected this figure will be affected by inflation in accordance with the provisions of the contract. For the purposes of Section 74(1)(a) and paragraph 1 of Schedule 8 of the Procurement Act 2023, Milton Keynes City Council may during the term of the Leisure Operator Contract apply an agency model arrangement to replace the traditional leisure management arrangement. The Council reserves the right to modify the contract terms and conditions to accommodate a move to the agency model arrangement. The Authority is delivering a major low-carbon infrastructure investment in the form of a city scale District Heat Network (DHN), a key component of its commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030, as outlined in the Authority’s Strategy for 2050 and Council Plan 2024-2026. In the first phase of the DHN, low-carbon heat will be delivered to several public buildings across the city, helping to reduce reliance on gas combustion heating. As part of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS), the Authority has been successful in its application to convert three major public buildings: the city library; Civic building; and Woughton Leisure Centre.
