Everyone Active secures contracts for four more sites

Everyone Active has secured a 15-year contract to manage The Brentwood Centre and Hartswood Pavilion in Brentwood and Clements Hall Leisure Centre and Rayleigh Leisure Centre in Rochford.

Brentwood Borough Council and Rochford District Council awarded the contract as part of a joint procurement process. Both councils agreed to work collaboratively to develop the joint contract to secure economies of scale over a larger portfolio and to attract greater interest from the operator market.

The new contract will commence on 1 April 2025. Everyone Active will now start its mobilisation process, running from January 2025 through to March 2025, which will enable a smooth transition in the run up to take over the contract. Both Rayleigh Leisure Centre and Clements Hall Leisure Centre are currently operated by Fusion Lifestyle.

Councillor Dr Tim Barrett, Chair of the Housing, Health and Community Committee at Brentwood Borough Council said: “This is an exciting time to be able to develop our leisure services offer beyond the walls of the leisure centres and provide activities in community settings, enabling greater accessibility to more residents. There is greater awareness of the health and wellbeing benefits of regular physical activity that promotes better physical and mental health and wellbeing”.

Duncan Jefford, Regional Director at Everyone Active, added: “This joint partnership represents an excellent opportunity to leverage our extensive experience to deliver exceptional services to these communities.”
