Birmingham City Council is looking to set up a framework of contractors to build and revamp leisure facilities and swimming pools in the city.

The city council is looking at a proposal to draw up a preferred list of contractors to overhaul up to 20 sporting and leisure facilities.

The first scheme involves a competitive tender process to build a £14m community swimming pool and leisure centre in Sparkhill.

Firms on the list for the project will be invited to sign a framework allowing them to bid for £100m of proposed projects.

Leisure cabinet member Martin Mullaney  said: “We hope the Sparkhill procurement process can lay the groundwork for any future community pool projects in Birmingham.”

The Sparkhill baths will consist of a 25m six lane pool with seats for 40 spectators, a learner pool, dance studio, fitness suite and a community room.

  • Erdington Pool
  • Moseley Road Pool
