What is being bought

Fylde Borough Council has undertaken a procurement for a leisure services operator to deliver investment in, and management of, key swimming facilities across the Borough. The scope of the contract includes: • St Anne's Swimming Pool • Kirkham Pool The procurement exercise sought to secure a long-term operating and investment partner, with proposals including both operational delivery and associated capital investment in the facilities. Following the completion of the procurement process, the Council approved the appointment of a preferred operator and the associated investment strategy for both sites. To ensure continuity of service pending completion of the final contractual arrangements, Fylde Borough Council has entered into an interim agreement with the operator. This interim arrangement will expire on 30 June2026, after which the full contractual agreement is expected to be finalised and executed.

Lot details

Lot 1

The original contract notice 2024/S 000-037050, published on 15 November 2024, stated an intended contract duration of 10 years plus 3 X 5 Year options to extend. Following completion of the procurement process and consideration of the preferred delivery model, Full Council on 27 January 2026 approved Option C, which included: • Enhanced capital investment in facilities; and • Appointment of the preferred operator under a revised commercial model. As part of this approved option, the contract duration was extended to 15 years to: • Ensure long-term financial sustainability of the operating model; • Reflect the scale of capital investment and lifecycle requirements; and • Enable delivery of the Council's strategic leisure and community objectives. The published contract award therefore reflects the approved 15-year contract term, as authorised by Full Council.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 92. The category anchor is Recreational, cultural and sporting services (92000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
