Outdoor Tennis Court Management and Coaching Services

North Northamptonshire Council seeks a single operator to manage and develop outdoor tennis services across three Kettering-based sites: Burton Latimer, North Park, and Ise Lodge. The successful operator will hold a license to operate these facilities as a business opportunity, generating revenue through pay-and-play bookings, memberships, coaching programs, and one-to-one lessons. Key responsibilities include providing online and app-based court booking systems, delivering coaching and structured activities for all ages and abilities, supporting local tennis clubs, and executing community outreach initiatives. The operator must comply with national governing body standards and align with council priorities for leisure, health, inclusion, and community development. The council will approve all fees and charges. North Park and Ise Lodge require development and refurbishment funded through external sources and operator investment. The successful bidder must commit capital investment including smart access gates, a modern court booking system, and partnership contributions to support funding applications. This is a 15-year service agreement offering a substantial business opportunity for an experienced tennis service provider.
