The identified opportunities reflect the priorities for investment and development recommended in the 2014 Indoor Leisure Facility Strategy. It is anticipated that significant investment will occur in the leisure facilities located in the Kenilworth area as a Phase 2 to the developments currently planned.
As the operation of sports facilities are ‘light touch’ services under the Public Contracts Regulation (2015) and the Authority views this as a concession contract, the Authority followed the procurement procedure outlined in the PQQ and ITT.

This Council will incorporate a minimum of 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the contracting council before the contract is entered into.
If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved, The Public Contract Regulation 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the council to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may only award damages.
