Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured pre-construction services for the Springs Leisure Centre Leisure Investment Programme. The requirement covers design and project development work undertaken before construction, supporting investment in a leisure facility. It is categorised as construction work for leisure facilities, with the broader procurement category being works. Delivery is in Sheffield, within Yorkshire and the Humber. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement relates specifically to the Springs Leisure Centre project. This opportunity is therefore relevant to construction businesses with experience of pre-construction services, design coordination and developing leisure or public-sector facilities through to a stage suitable for subsequent construction.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids had to be submitted by 11 July 2025 at 17:00. Sheffield City Council awarded the contract to Willmott Dixon Construction Ltd on 11 July 2025. The awarded value is £1,823,127.13 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 14 July 2025 to 28 August 2026. The award is active. The procurement was evaluated within the framework call-off process, with the requirement focused on delivering pre-construction design and project development services for the Springs Leisure Centre investment programme.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need substantial construction-sector capability in pre-construction services, design development and project development for leisure facilities. The awarded supplier is a large construction company, and the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. This indicates a requirement suited to businesses with the organisational scale, technical resources and delivery capacity to support a public leisure investment programme before main construction. Relevant experience should include coordinating design and development activities for complex leisure or civic facilities, working with a local authority, and progressing proposals into a robust basis for construction delivery.
