Options

Description
The Council may bring on existing third party leisure facilities during the whole life of the contract, e.g school leisure facilities sites within the County (SCDC & ECDC) and any new leisure builds in the future - sites & facilities were all named in the ITT. School Academy Trust sports facilities are able to join the Contract across Cambridge City, South and East Cambridgeshire District Councils along with other third party leisure facilities which are also able to join the contract. This could increase the contract values by around £5 Million per additional site for a full term of the contract. Future options for capital investment into new planned indoor and outdoor sports facilities as per the adopted local sports strategies would be looking for delivery of a further four new 25m pools and indoors sports facilities along with a new regional 50m pool and associated indoor facilities, and new outdoor sports courts could see further capital investment be circa £160Million. Please note that due to LGR and unknown future developments, the awarded value may be exceeded as explained above.
