Background Information: The Council agreed to enter into a contract with Storeys Field Centre Trust (SFCT) to operate Storeys Field Community Centre, but this was never intended to be a long-term arrangement for either party. An initial 5 year contract for services was agreed, and this was then extended by the council for 18 months until 31st Dec 2022 and then extended again until 31st March 2023, to enable Storeys Field Centre Trust (SFCT) to tender for a new operator. A tender process was completed in July 2022 but was unsuccessful. The Council and University have agreed to a further contract extension until 31st March 2024 to allow the Trust to: 1. Review the tender process 2. Progress work to clarify the future direction for the centre 3. Provide Council staff at the centre with greater clarity
