The existing operator contract is scheduled to come to an end in March 2020. To identify and address future needs the Council undertook a sports facility and leisure needs assessment in 2015 that highlighted a clear need to replace Chiltern Pools Leisure Centre in order to meet the future needs of Chilterns residents. [chiltern.gov.uk/background](https://www.chiltern.gov.uk/background) The Council has also undertaken a public consultation to gauge residents' appetite for developing a new leisure centre facility. The results demonstrated overwhelming support to take the project forward [chiltern.gov.uk/consultationresults](https://www.chiltern.gov.uk/consultationresults) including bringing the surrounding community facilities (library, nursery and community halls) into one building. The ultimate aim is to create a new state of the art leisure/community hub facility that will serve the needs of residents for the next thirty years and beyond. [chiltern.gov.uk](https://www.chiltern.gov.uk/chilternpoolsredevelopment) ### Looking Forward Following the completion of the leisure needs assessment and community consultation the Council wishes to move the project forward and is now seeking to appoint a specialist leisure consultant to:  develop an outcome based leisure operator contract to tender the operation of the current and proposed facilities  support the procurement process from the point of soft market testing through to the appointment of an operator to deliver the outcome based contract from 1st April 2020 Closing date for submissions is 12 noon on 19th March 2018, please contact Paul Nanji, Principal Leisure and Wellbeing Manager at for further information.
