Recreational, cultural and sporting services

Tender description

Stirling Council is an ambitious and forward thinking council positioning itself to be the sport, physical activity and well-being capital of Scotland. In pursuit of that aspiration a new sport, physical activity and well-being strategy has been developed with our partners, outlining a new, ambitious and adventurous approach, and representing an aspiration and ambition to achieve the best. The Council is now looking to engage with innovative, energetic and forward thinking operators to gauge the market interest in potentially managing our sport and physical activity services, facilities and creating opportunities that secure our ambitious goals in this area. This a unique opportunity to lead on community delivery and well-being, and provide high-quality services for 1 of Scotland's most beautiful locations. We want to be more closely aligned with the communities we serve and are working closely with them and our other partners to ensure that they can shape and influence what we do. The Council is committed to responding to the needs of its diverse communities. This opportunity will therefore involve the management of high-quality sport and leisure facilities, creating opportunities to support the Council's aspirations in this area, and the achievement of excellence in the level of activity to school, community sport and performance. This includes a strong focus on improving access and participation particularly in rural areas and in tackling health and other inequalities.
