Community Lettings and Facilities Management Services for Sir John Brunner Foundation Multi-Academy Trust

The Sir John Brunner Foundation Multi-Academy Trust in Cheshire is seeking a managed lettings service provider to manage community use and facilities hire at Middlewich High School and Sir John Deane's Sixth Form College, with potential expansion to other Trust sites. The service should include marketing, booking administration, customer management, income collection, on-site staffing, supervision, and operational delivery of school and college facilities outside core educational hours. Facilities in scope include sports halls, outdoor pitches, all-weather surfaces, playing fields, performance spaces, classrooms, changing rooms, and car parking. The Trust seeks providers able to deliver fully managed services, managed bookings with shared operational delivery, or advice on commercial models such as revenue share or management fee arrangements. Key requirements include robust safeguarding and site security, access control, cleaning and facility maintenance, customer service, financial reporting, and orderly contract transition. The Trust is considering phased implementation starting with Sir John Deane's Sixth Form College and non-pitch lettings. The estimated contract value is £420,000 to £480,000 or more over three years based on projected lettings income. This pre-market engagement aims to test the scope, delivery models, commercial structures, and operational considerations before formal procurement. Participation does not confer advantages in any future tender process.
