Legal Justification
The Council appointed SLM to provide the leisure services pursuant to the Contract and Leases for the management and operation of the Council's three leisure centres. The Contract Period is 10 years from 29 March 2018 with a 5-year possible extension.

The Deed of Variation does not materially alter the risk position of the parties. The Agent shall receive a variable management fee and reimbursement for its operating costs in providing the agency services. The Council is guaranteed a Guaranteed Minimum Return of the revenue received each year on the Council's behalf having regard to the operating costs and management fee payable to the Agent. The Agent shall have a licence to occupy each of the Council's facilities.
