The contract will be split into two distinct phases: \(i\)the Interim Phase, during which the Operator will manage the Aldershot facility and provide pre-opening services in relation to Farnborough, and \(ii\)the Main Phase, during which the Operator will fully operate both facilities\. The Interim Phase of the Contract will commence on 1st October 2024\. The Council's target date for opening of the new Leisure and Cultural Hub facility is spring 2027\. The annual estimated value of the Contract in respect of turnover generation for the Interim Period is in the range of £1m to £1\.5m\.
