GB-Telford: Indoor Sports & Leisure Strategy

Tender description

Telford & Wrekin Council is seeking to appoint suitably qualified and experienced Consultant(s) to produce a new Indoor Sports & Leisure Strategy for the borough for the period 2022 to 2032. It is 15 years since the current strategy (Leisure Facilities Framework 2007) was published and despite the unforeseen changes and financial challenges faced by Local Authorities, many of its key recommendations have been delivered. Current Council priorities, local drivers and the wider national sport and physical activity context have moved on and the need therefore exists to develop a new strategy for the borough. The new strategy will provide a framework to ensure that the Council's indoor sports and leisure provision is able to further increase community physical activity levels, continue to meet current and future demands, contribute to the Council's commitment to 'Protect, Care and Invest' and to ensure every child, young person and adult lives well in their community. It will sit alongside the Outdoor Recreation Facilities Strategy to provide a robust assessment of need and evidence base for future sports and leisure planning, investment and policy decision making and be used to inform the Local Plan review.
