Leisure Facilities and Services Contract Succession Strategy (E/22/19)

Meeting: 01/09/2022 - Executive (Item 33)

Leisure Facilities and Services Contract Succession Strategy (E/22/18)

The Executive are asked to consider report E/22/18.

Minutes:

The Leader of the Council presented the report.

 

The report set out the current service delivery models for leisure services across North Yorkshire, contract periods for contracted services and the requirement for NYC to commission a strategic review of leisure. Within this broader context there was a requirement for interim service delivery for Selby due to contract expiry. The report recommended the preferred interim service model for Selby services.

 

Members expressed their support for the recommendations and agreed the recommendation set out in the report.

 

RESOLVED:

The Executive

 

1.    supported the proposed Selby interim service option, which was the transfer to a Teckal company;

 

2.    undertook not to instigate a re-procurement exercise; and

 

3.    engaged with any future proposals that were considered by North Yorkshire’s Executive later in the autumn, in relation to a countywide Strategic Leisure Review.

 

REASON FOR DECISION:

 

To determine whether to re-procure the Selby leisure service or seek alternative arrangements for the continuation of leisure services in the District, pending any outcomes of the North Yorkshire Review, as Selby District Council’s (SDC) current Leisure contract was due to expire in August 2024. A decision was required to ensure continuity of service provision in Selby for a period from 2024 up to 2027.
