6.1

The Director of Parks, Leisure and Libraries submitted a report to the committee to report back with recommendations on the contract award following the conclusion of the procurement for a preferred provider to manage Sheffield’s parks tennis programme, which in addition to the existing tennis court management includes the addition of an Activity Hub to the model, to provide additional financial security to the programme and further increase health and wellbeing outcomes.

The report sought approval for any associated disposals of land which may be necessary, and for officers to be authorised to obtain any consents or approvals required and to be further authorised to publish any notices required under the Local Government Act 1972 and the Charities Act 2011.

Approval was also requested for the proposed City Council funding contribution of up to £180,000 (of prudential borrowing) towards the development of the Activity Hub at Hillsborough Park; and the allocation of Section 106 funds of up to £183,000 for the development of the multi-use games facilities at Hillsborough Park, as described in the report.

Discussion took place around the following areas;

·      The designs contained in the proposal and whether these were final.

·      The scope of the original consultation and involving the Youth Engagement Team prior to the decision being taken

·      How Cycling4all would be impacted by the changes

·      Any risks to the funding should the decision be delayed

The Chair proposed that the Parks Tennis Procurement and Hillsborough Activity Hub report be deferred to a later meeting in order to give further consideration to these issues.
