Worcester City Council has an exciting opportunity for the operation of 2 premier City centre park tennis venues which are being transformed with significant investment in 2019. As a key partner, this is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious organisation to increase participation and further to retain all of the court fee and coaching income within the arrangements. The tennis operator will retain all fees and charges, including coaching fees in line with the adopted fees approved by full council. Worcester City Council is inviting Tenders from Potential Suppliers for provision of the operation of 5 tennis courts in Cripplegate Park and 2 tennis courts in Gheluvelt Park in the City Centre in Worcester.
