Eight contractors applied to be accepted on the select tender list for the Cambridge Swimming Pools and Village Centre Management Contract; following evaluation of the submissions four have been invited to tender. All these are either trusts or operate through a trust which allows them certain financial benefits. The invitations to tender were issued on 27 February 2003.
A ‘Bidder’s day was held on 11 March when the contractors made presentations explaining how they were interpreting the specification to meet the Council’s objectives.
Members are recommended to agree that a special Community Development and Leisure Scrutiny Committee take place on a date to be fixed in early May 2003 to consider the appointment of the Council’s preferred contractor. It is expected that the new contract will commence on 30 June 2003.
