Presumably you'd have to form a group that can convince the Council that you could do a better job than the present contractors.
IMO It would also depend on how long their present contract lasts.

There are some guidelines on self management here

May I suggest you contact Andy,I am sure he will offer sone advice. The way we did it here in Blackpool has been reconigsed by many a council wanting to go self managed rather than 3rd party. The email is at the bottom of the page.

Off at a bit of a tangent, but may contain useful tips.

Poole, Steve: The Allotment Chronicles. A Social History of Allotment Gardening.

An interesting read, and you should find a copy on the net.

HI SAM51
now I've had an allotment for many years and I am a chairman of our society the only thing I can suggest is get a meeting to-gether with your fellow gardeners and sought out the problem's and if need be sack the the other and create a new body and hopefully that would help.
