    Brief

    Stafford Borough Council is reviewing delivery arrangements for heritage services, including Stafford Castle, Ancient High House, and Izaak Walton Cottage. The current contract with Freedom Leisure expires in November 2027. The Council is conducting preliminary market engagement (not a formal tender) to assess interest from heritage management, museum, cultural, visitor attraction, and community-based organisations. The Council wants to understand market appetite for operating these three heritage assets as a standalone service, explore suitable delivery and partnership models, discuss risk allocation and financial sustainability, identify opportunities to increase visitor numbers and community impact, and determine information needed for a future procurement process. This is an information-gathering exercise to inform the Council's decision on the preferred delivery model for these heritage assets.
