    Brief

    Watford Borough Council is planning to modify its agreement with Sports and Leisure Management Limited (SLM), which provides leisure management services. SLM operates leisure facilities on behalf of the council at locations including Woodside and the paddling pool at Cassiobury Park. As the council's agent, SLM delivers these services under the council's name. This contract was initially established through a procurement notice for sports facility operation services published on March 10, 2017. The opportunity for this change arises from a successful legal case by Chelmsford City Council in 2022, which led to updated guidance from HMRC in 2023 regarding VAT treatment for leisure services offered by local authorities. Suppliers interested in this opportunity can find more details on the Contracts Finder website.
