Beau Sejour and Footes Lane could be run by private sector

PROPOSALS which could see the running of Beau Sejour and Footes Lane outsourced to the private sector will go the States in July.

It is one area for savings that has been identified as part of the States-wide drive known as the financial transformation programme that aims to save around £31m.

Culture and Leisure yesterday went out to tender for parties interested in a 10-year management contract - they need to be returned by the end of January with a recommended tenderer decided at the end of April.

Capita, which is working with the States on the FTP, believes £400,000 a year could be saved by changing how the two facilities are run.
