MSDC - Cultural Operator for the redevelopment and operation of the Clair Hall Site in Perrymount Road Haywards Heath

Following a competitive flexible procurement (see Tender Notice (2025/S 000-042820) for further details), Mid Sussex District Council selected a cultural operator for the redevelopment and ongoing operation of the site known as 'Clair Hall' (see Contract Award Notice (2026/S 000-014110) for further details). The Council's ambition is to create a vibrant and inclusive creative cultural hub in the centre of Haywards Heath.

The venue will be one that welcomes all communities and provides inspiration through film, art and performance. The cultural operator will support the Council during a design and development period with a view to ultimately leasing and operating the cultural facility.

Note that the estimated total value of the contract listed in this Contract Details Notice is an estimate based on projections informed by market information and industry standards with an assumption of £2.28m turnover per annum over an estimated lease period of 20 years. The actual value of the contract, in practice, is dependent on external factors but the procurement intends to cover the value generated over the 20-year term.
