What the notice says
York Sport operates alongside the University of York to provide sport and leisure facilities to staff, students and members of the public. As part of a drive to modernise our leisure management capabilities we are looking to evaluate commercial offerings in this area. Specifically we are looking at Leisure Management Suites that can comprehensively cover our current online offerings and integrate with or provide solutions for our physical facilities.
Our award-winning facilities are recognised as some of the best in the region, used by elite athletes and national teams.
York Sport is divided into two sites: York Sport Village, located on Heslington East campus and York Sport Centre, located on Heslington West campus. Memberships are available to purchase at each site individually, or across both (dual-site membership). Both facilities are open to the general public as well as University of York students and staff.
York Sport Village is also home to an award-winning Learn to Swim Scheme, and sports activities are available to book on a pay as you go or block-booking basis. York Sport also operates 1-1 Learn to Ride cycling lessons, a Junior Triathlon programme, as well as hosting birthday parties and a Squash league.
