Construction work of leisure facilities

Tender description

The London Borough of Barnet: the Council is seeking a private sector partner PSP to enter into a strategic partnership arrangement to enable the Council to deliver a range of construction projects and needs as part of its Capital Programme over the next 5 years with an option to extend the contract for a further 2 years at the sole discretion of the Council. The strategic partner will be tasked with delivering construction opportunities allocated to the partnership arrangements as well as providing Strategic Partnering Services to support the delivery of the Council's Capital Programme.

The Capital Programme is expected to include the Council construction requirements for sports and leisure facilities schools and educational facilities libraries and community facilities and refurbishment works requirements for schools and educational facilities libraries and community facilities over the next 5 to 7 years. The potential capital value of the Capital Programme opportunities during the partnership period is estimated to be up to 150 000 000 GBP over the initial 5 years or in conjunction with the additional 2 year extension. These projections are not intended as a cap on the value of construction to be delivered through the partnership. The initial projects are expected to include the construction of 2 new leisure facilities currently scheduled to begin construction in September 2016.

In addition a new leisure centre is to be constructed on a green field site within the Borough subject to Planning Approval that will eventually replace the current provision at Church Farm Leisure centre.
