Tameside Leisure & Wellbeing Service

Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council · Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 1 Oct 2026, 04:27.

Opportunity overview

The future leisure & wellbeing service will have three core elements: - Leisure and Active Wellbeing Centres (Leisure Centres). - Active Communities (Health & Wellbeing, Sports Development). - System Leadership (Advice & Guidance). TMBC has developed a broad portfolio of leisure facilities, with the most recent centre, the Tameside Wellness Centre, opening in 2020. Conditions surveys undertaken across the portfolio in 2026 have highlighted the need for a lifecycle investment programme which TMBC has committed to. TMBC is also developing a Leisure Investment Strategy, informed by a recent Leisure Build Facilities Strategy and upcoming Playing Pitch Strategy, to define investment plans for the development of the leisure portfolio over the next 5-10 years. It is TMBC's intention that this will include development of a new facility to replace Ashton Leisure Centre (closed in 2023) and consider development options for Active Copley linked to the facility's age and condition.
