Agenda item

(a)  That that the contract with Slough Community Leisure (SCL) to manage the Thames Valley Athletics Centre be executed. 

(b)  That officers seek to include a break clause in the contract, should termination be in the interest of Slough Borough Council.

(c)  That officers be tasked with ensuring that the contract delivers improved benefits to Slough Borough Council and its residents.

The Cabinet considered a report summarising the Council’s options on the contract to run the Thames Valley Athletic Centre (TVAC) with the recommendation that the contract be executed conditional on action to ensure that Slough residents and the Borough Council got a better return on their investment in TVAC.  Members noted that there was a Part II report containing information on this item and Members agreed to deal with the matter in Part I without divulging any of the exempt information.  Members were advised of the benefits and other contract issues for Slough and it was recommended that the Cabinet approve that the contract be executed and that the SBC Officers should seek to include a break clause in the contract should termination be in the interest of Slough Borough Council.
