Issue details

Following a procurement exercise completed in 2023 under the G-Cloud 13 Framework, it has been suggested to appoint Legend as the Leisure Management provider. As part of the Council's offering, a lessons and courses system operates alongside the primary system. This provides the Council with the lessons and courses software to manage attendance, monitor children's development, online joining, waiting lists and online parent’s portal.
Following the successful implementation and operation of the CoursePro system across the Council’s leisure facilities, we are extending the current contract with Fitronics (CoursePro) in line with the original agreement, which included an option to extend.
The CoursePro system continues to provide essential functionality for managing our lessons and courses programme, including swimming, gymnastics, trampolining, and holiday activities. It integrates seamlessly with our primary leisure management system (Legend), and no alternative software offers the same level of compatibility and integration, as such an exemption is also required.
The extension period will be for a period of 18 months and cost total of £26,671.51, split across financial years as detailed in the background letter attached.
