Expression of Interest - Future delivery of Holywell Mead Leisure Complex
Wycombe

Future delivery of Holywell Mead Leisure Complex
(formerly an Outdoor Lido)

Wycombe District Council is inviting Expressions of Interest for a Partner to develop and manage Holywell Mead Leisure Complex, which was an outdoor Lido until it closed in 2009 because of financial pressures. The facility has historically played an important role in providing leisure opportunities for residents and visitors at a prominent location in the town.

The Holywell Mead facility was built in the 1950’s, based around a 33m outdoor swimming pool, and a 22.9m teaching pool. It is located on The Rye, the central and largest park in High Wycombe, and a recreation destination for residents from throughout Wycombe District and beyond. In addition, the Rye Centre (formerly known as The Environment Centre and currently operating as a community centre) is adjacent to the pool and included in plans for the future of the complex. This offers the opportunity for a more coordinated site masterplan and integrated delivery solution in future.

The Council’s key objective for the future of the site is to secure continued community leisure use. Wycombe DC is therefore looking for an innovative leisure Partner to deliver the Council’s vision of an attractive and vibrant family-oriented leisure destination while delivering a value for money solution, with no revenue cost to the Council.

In order to achieve this, the Council is willing to be flexible over the future facility mix. Whilst retention of water-based activities would be welcomed, interested parties will have the opportunity to respond with appropriate solutions for best meeting community leisure needs, and the Council is willing to consider alternative and potentially innovative leisure and recreation solutions which continue to deliver community leisure use on the site.

All Expressions of Interest to this process are required to register their interest and to complete the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) by 1200 hours on 27th August 2010. A Bidders Open Day will take place on the 3rd August 2010.

Those companies passing the pre-qualification evaluation process will receive an invitation to tender in early October 2010.

To register and receive the PQQ pack, which will be sent out electronically, please email: catherine_silvadonayre@wycombe.gov.uk
