Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the UK Leisure Framework 2026-2034 is being managed by Denbighshire Leisure Ltd in collaboration with Denbighshire County Council, both located in the UK region of UKL13. The tender focuses on the construction and development of leisure, sports, cultural, and related infrastructure across the UK. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with key deadlines including the submission end date on 27th February 2026 and the award date scheduled for 18th June 2026. The procurement method being used is an open, competitive flexible procedure aimed at works, with a total estimated value of £7.2 billion GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, consultancy, and service provision in the leisure and cultural sectors. Companies specialising in multi-functional buildings, sports facilities, and related services such as architectural design, investment banking, or facility management are well-suited to participate. The framework aims to create a robust supply chain and improve efficiency and quality delivery across various projects, opening the door for suppliers to partner with public and private sector clients on both short and longer-term basis. With the requirement to develop sustainable business models and offer risk management, SMEs are particularly encouraged to apply, making this an ideal opportunity to strengthen their footprint in the public sector infrastructure market.

Notice Title

UK Leisure Framework 2026-2034

Notice Description

Tender Notice for UK Leisure Framework 2026-2034.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Options: Schedule 8 modifications including - the right to additional purchases whilst the contract is valid. Adding additional scope of services that relate to the original scope of service areas and transfer on corporate restructuring.

Renewal: The justification for having an option to extend the framework period for a further two years as either, two, one-year extensions or a single two-year extension follows the same rationale and approach as the 8-year term. The longer the term the greater the opportunity available to achieve value for money with a dedicated leisure specialist, developing sustainable and robust business models and delivering these in a competitive environment with a high emphasis on risk management and fixed price building contracts.

The necessity to have and develop a quality supply chain is essential to the framework and delivering the quality product demanded of it. DLL is of the opinion that allowing the framework to mature, it will enhance and improve the quality of the product and streamline the delivery on subsequent projects. All the above will also generate cost savings over the framework life due to this developed streamlined process. Further, the streamlined process will drive time improvement in the pre-contract process with these matured and aligned supply chain partners. The framework is designed to deliver projects quickly as a result of the experience of the specialist Delivery Partner being sought, conversely it can also deal with long lead funding streams and introduce funding when required.",

        "riskDetails": "Whilst there is an expectation the successful bidder will have robust governance, business continuity and risk management arrangements in place, it is recognised that certain external factors could impact the delivery of the contract. These risks are largely outside the direct control of either party but are actively monitored and mitigated wherever possible. Local and regional risks may include workforce availability challenges, industrial action, local infrastructure disruption, or supplier failure within the regional supply chain. Changes in local authority policy, funding pressures, or community demand could also influence service delivery expectations. It is expected these risks will be mitigated through workforce planning, strong supplier management, contingency arrangements and close engagement with local stakeholders. National risks include changes in legislation, regulation or public policy that affect employment, health and safety, data protection, or service standards. Economic pressures such as inflation, increased energy costs, or labour market shortages could impact operating costs or resource availability. There is also the potential for national industrial action or public sector reform to affect performance. There is an expectation these risks are attempted to be managed through horizon scanning, flexible financial planning, compliance monitoring, and adaptive service models. International and global risks include major events such as pandemics, geopolitical instability, war, terrorism, or global supply chain disruption. These events can lead to workforce shortages, increased costs, reduced availability of materials or services, and changes in customer behaviour or demand. Climate-related events and global economic volatility also present longer-term risks. There is an expectation these risks are attempted to be managed through business continuity planning, diversified supply chains, remote and flexible working capability where appropriate, and regular review of emergency response arrangements. Overall, it is hoped that whilst these risks could impact the contract if they materialise, a proactive and proportionate approach to risk management will help to alleviate them in all but the worst-case scenarios.",
