Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council ('the Authority') is commencing a Competitive Dialogue procedure to find a leisure specialist partner to deliver a new water and leisure complex in Basingstoke.
The contract opportunity is for the award of the BDBC Leisure DBOM Contract (the Contract) which comprises the following leisure centres:
- Design and build a replacement Facility for the Aquadrome
- Aquadrome current facility operation, until transfer of service to the new Facility
- Tadley Health and Fitness Centre operation
- Basingstoke Golf Centre operation
Following previous consultation, facilities at the new complex should include a 25-metre eight-lane competition pool, 20-metre four-lane teaching pool, leisure waters with flumes, a 150-station gym, three studios and a spin studio, an indoor clip and climb or similar adventure-style activity, indoor adventure soft play, party rooms and café.
Leisure specialists are being invited to submit first stage Selection Questionnaire (SQ) responses for the scheme. Following detailed dialogue work with short-listed suppliers that demonstrate the relevant interest, experience, and capability to deliver the project, it is anticipated that a preferred partner would be identified, approved by the Authority and awarded the final contract in May 2026.
Detailed information on the overall scheme, including programmes; specifications and response documents are available to access once registered and expression of interest confirmed on ProContract.
The Authority is utilising an electronic tendering tool to manage this procurement and communicate with Tenderers. Accordingly, there will be no hard copy documents issued to Tenderers and all communications with the Authority, including the submission of Tenderers' Responses, will be conducted via the ProContract system, which can be accessed using the following link:

Please note expressions of interest must be registered before 11:00:00 Friday 20th December 2024. After this time no new suppliers will be able to register and download the documentation on ProContract. This is to allow a locked time for bidders simply to review and upload the necessary response documents to ProContract prior to the SQ response deadline in an effort to reduce the likelihood of incomplete or late submissions.
Completed Selection Questionnaire (SQ) responses and supporting information should be returned before 12:00:00 (midday) on Friday 20th December 2024.
Please remember that you must complete and submit your SQ response BEFORE THE SQ CLOSING DATE listed above.
