Summary of the contracting process

Denbighshire Leisure Ltd, with Denbighshire County Council able to access the arrangement, has procured an open UK leisure framework for public sector organisations across the United Kingdom. It covers leisure and sports construction, including multi-functional buildings, clinics and associated excavation, installation and landscaping. The scope also includes architectural design, project and business consultancy, funding and financial services, leisure and sports equipment, specialist software, office and computer equipment, marketing, staff training, sports facility operation and other sporting services. The framework is intended to support the development and delivery of leisure projects, combining construction, specialist advice, supply and operational services through a single delivery partner. It is classified primarily as works, with services and goods forming important parts of the overall requirement.

The procurement is complete and has reached award stage. It used an open competitive flexible procedure, with a restrictive selection stage, initial solutions, clarification and dialogue, followed by final tenders. Alliance Leisure Services Limited was selected as the sole framework supplier; the award is recorded as pending, with a standstill period ending on 16 September 2026 and signature scheduled for 18 September 2026. The award date is 28 August 2026. The framework contract is planned to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2034, with options for two one-year extensions or one two-year extension, to 30 September 2036. Its estimated value is £6 billion excluding VAT, or £7.2 billion including VAT. Price carried 25% and quality 75%; economic and technical selection criteria applied. One bid was received, from an SME.

This award shows a substantial, broad-based requirement for leisure-sector delivery partners able to combine construction, design, finance, equipment, technology, consultancy and operational expertise. A credible competitor for similar work would need to coordinate a multidisciplinary supply chain and deliver leisure, sports and related public facilities across the UK. Relevant strengths include experience of multi-functional building or clinic projects, architectural and engineering coordination, fixed-price construction, procurement and installation of specialist leisure equipment, and the ability to provide supporting software, training and marketing. Strong governance, business continuity, risk management, workforce planning and supplier management are important, alongside robust financial planning and compliance with employment, health and safety, data protection and service standards. The framework was marked mainly on quality, so a clear, well-managed delivery model would be important.

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.
