Rossendale Borough Council - Park tennis courts

An exciting opportunity from Rossendale Borough Council and Hyndburn Borough Council for the delivery of a tennis coaching and activation programme across public tennis courts in the two boroughs.
 
We are inviting expressions of interest from individuals, clubs, businesses and community organisations who can deliver an inclusive programme aimed at encouraging people of all ages and abilities to play tennis, alongside community outreach and activities for groups who do not currently participate.
 
The opportunity
There are 9 public tennis courts across Rossendale and Hyndburn, including 5 in Rossendale at:

• Whitaker Park – 2 courts
• Stubbylee Park – 3 courts

The courts have received significant investment from the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), totalling £156,643, and are now in excellent condition for coaching and activation. The courts also use LTA ClubSpark for bookings and Smart Access Gate Technology for access.
 
The successful organisation will be expected to:

• Provide affordable and inclusive coaching for all ages and abilities.
• Deliver a programme of coaching, activities and community outreach.
• Provide weekly Barclays Free Park Tennis sessions at each park.
• Deliver Barclays Big Tennis Weekends.

 
Please note that meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee that the Council will proceed with any submission. Following review of the expressions of interest, the Councils will confirm the next steps.
 
If you, or an organisation you work with, may be interested in this opportunity, please get in touch with me and I would be happy to discuss it further.
Kind regards,
Natalie Atkinson
