Hackney Council has approved a new contract to boost community tennis participation and accessibility across the borough.

Hackney Council's Cabinet Procurement and Insourcing Committee approved a new concession contract in September 2026 to boost community tennis participation. The five-year Tennis Facilities Management and Community Tennis Development Concession Contract, with an option for a two-year extension, was awarded to Provider A, a Hackney-based charitable organisation. Provider A will manage, operate, and develop facilities to make tennis more accessible and inclusive across the borough.

This decision follows the council's aim to enhance organised activities and events focused on tennis for the local community. The new contract is designed to ensure the continued development and operation of these programmes, with Provider A now responsible for their implementation and expansion over the coming years.
