The Council is seeking to secure a strategic partner who will work with the Council to develop the game in the city and address a number of key local outcomes, including: • Increasing levels of physical activity, leading to reductions in obesity and costs of inactivity due to preventable illness • Increasing participation in football by under-represented groups or groups with barriers to access • Sustaining male youth and adult football • Increasing the women and girls' game in the city • Growing opportunities for pan-disability football The Council is in the process of bidding for grant funding from the Premier League, The FA and the Government's Football Foundation. Once secured this funding will be used to fund the redevelopment of the site which will encompass replacement of the existing pavilion building, updating the current landscaping & parking provisions and installation of two new Artificial Grass Pitches (AGP's). To achieve funding from the Football Foundation, the Council must have a deliverable scheme, with planning consent, ready for the April 2022 funding window. The site will also retain a number of grass pitches which operators may also include for within optional Lot 2 additional proposals. There may also be further opportunities over the term of the contract for the successful operator to expand delivery of operations to other existing or newly developed Council owned football facilities, without limitation in respect of relevant Council sites or potential revenue estimates. The initial term of the contract will be for approx. 10 years, dependent upon the final service commencement date. The contract may be extended at the option of the Council to a maximum total term of 15 years, in increments to be agreed. The Council is targeting operational commencement from September 2023, however the exact operational commencement date may be brought forwards or put back in relation to some or all of the services, dependent upon funding status, securing of approvals and completion of the required redevelopment works. The first year of operations under the contract will run for approx. 7 months to completion of the Council's financial year in April 2024. All subsequent years will be in line with the Council's financial year definition and will run from April to April. The Council's revenue turnover projection for the site, at maturity of the business model and with inclusion of grass pitches, is approx. £320K a year. This figure is a non-binding estimate which may be subject to significant above and below fluctuations dependent upon the commercial performance of the facility / operator and / or addition of any further facilities to the scope of the arrangements over the term of the contract. The Council is aiming to have secured the s... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/football-hub-operator-king-george-v-playing-fields-redevelopment-portsmouth-ocds-h6vhtk-0301ac) ## Lots (2) ### Lot 1: Lot 1 - Operation of Facilities EXCLUDING incorporation of existing grass pitches - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 45112720, 50710000, 50720000, 50730000, 50750000, 50882000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Estimated Value:** £4,500,000 - **Description:** A summary outline scope of the requirements which fall within Lot 1 are set out below, however applicants are referred to the procurement documents for full details.
