Operation and Management of Bay Pavilions Aquatic Centre, Moruya War Memorial Swimming Pool and Nar

⁠⁠⁠Overview

Eurobodalla Shire Council is issuing this open Request for Tender (RFT) for the provision of management, operation and associated services for its aquatic facilities, comprising Bay Pavilions Aquatic Centre, Moruya War Memorial Swimming Pool and Narooma Swimming Pool.

Purpose

Council is seeking a suitably experienced contractor or contractors to undertake the management and operation of its aquatic facilities and associated services. The key objectives are to achieve best value for money from the aquatic facilities contract(s) and to enable more specialist and/or locally based providers to submit viable tender offers. It is also a key requirement of the procurement process that the Bay Pavilions Aquatic Centre attracts a provider that will ensure the facility retains its premier, five-star status. Council has elected to offer separable packages so that tenderers may submit for one or more individual packages or bundles, balancing simplicity and operational efficiency.

Scope

Council has identified three separable packages of work, and tenderers may submit a tender for a singular package, or a bundle of packages. The scope includes:

• Management and operation of Bay Pavilions aquatic and fitness (gym) facilities
• Provision of food and beverage services for Bay Pavilions, including the café, poolside canteen and meeting room catering
• Management and operation of Moruya War Memorial Swimming Pool and Narooma Swimming Pool, and facilitation of access to other on-site facilities (meeting room and kiosk)

Contractor Requirements

• Suitably experienced contractor(s) to undertake the management and operation of aquatic facilities and associated services

Contract Terms and Conditions

• Contract term of four years, with two three-year extension options

Tender Briefing and Site Inspection

A Tender Briefing for all interested providers will take place on Wednesday 5 August 2026 at 10am (AEST), held on-site at Bay Pavilions Aquatic Centre, prior to Site Inspections of the three facilities. The Tender Briefing and Site Inspections are expected to take a full day and are mandatory for tenderers to attend.

• Date: Wednesday 5 August 2026
• Time: 10am (AEST)
• Location: Bay Pavilions Aquatic Centre (followed by site inspections at Moruya War Memorial Swimming Pool and Narooma Swimming Pool)
