The council's leisure services (Basildon Sporting Village, Eversley Leisure Centre and Wickford Swim and Fitness Centre) are operated and delivered by Sports and Leisure Management Ltd (SLM), trading as Everyone Active (EA), under two separate contracts, one for Basildon Sporting Village and another for "Other Leisure" that includes Eversley Leisure Centre and Wickford Swim and Fitness Centre. The proposed modification is the adoption of an Agency Model for the delivery of the council's leisure services within the borough.

  The alternative option would be for the council not to extend the leisure contracts. This could result in SLM having to operate under an unsustainable business model without increasing prices across the centres which would negatively impact on the centres' performance, facility users and the community, in particular low-income residents and families. In order to ensure continued service delivery and best value for the council for the contract term, the extension will mitigate against any fluctuations in financial resources and will support SLM to operate under a better business model. The extension will also provide SLM with the opportunity to invest in a longer-term commitment with the council, which will provide ongoing reassurance for future investment in the facilities and services. It will also allow a suitable timeframe for SLM to fully repay the support grant that was provided by the council over the Covid period without negatively impacting on the centres' performance or facility users and the community
