Councillor Melvin Wallace, Cabinet Lead member for Culture and Community Engagement detailed the report to Cabinet. In 2016 Cabinet agreed to award the Council’s Sports and Leisure Management Contract for a period of 20 years, from 1st October, 2016, to Sport and Leisure Management Ltd.
This award of contract included investment in new health and fitness facilities at Central Park Leisure centre, the building of a new Hornchurch Sports Centre the operation of the new Sapphire Ice and Leisure and delegated responsibilities to Officers to negotiate a variation to the contract for the operation of Chafford Sports Complex subject to the costs to the Council being mitigated as far as possible. This also included future investment in the Noak Hill Sports centre as a part of the overall contract.
The contract was awarded following a full competitive tendering process. The new state of the art provision will generate a profit to the benefit of Havering Council Tax payers.
The report before Cabinet updated Members of the progress made during the first year of this contract and the resulting financial implications. The budget report will be before Cabinet again as an update in December, 2017 and approval will be sought at Council next week.
