UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned a feasibility study into specialist indoor and outdoor cycling facilities, broader multi-discipline cycling facilities and complementary multi-sport provision across the borough. The work is research and consultancy to assess potential facility provision, rather than construction or operation of sports venues. The study focuses on options for cycling and related multi-sport facilities within Dudley. The procurement was managed by the council, and the successful supplier was Strategic Leisure Limited. The study sits within the council’s consideration of leisure and active-environment provision, with its scope spanning both dedicated cycling facilities and wider multi-discipline opportunities.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Strategic Leisure Limited. The council ran a competitive further competition through Sport England’s Active Environments Framework, under its strategic outcomes planning and leisure services delivery lot; the procurement method was selective and the award was below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026, with work running from 7 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £47,925 excluding VAT and £57,510 including VAT. The outcome concerns one lot and one supplier. The study is a service contract for a feasibility assessment; no separate award evaluation criteria or specific eligibility requirements are stated in the available process details.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors will need to combine leisure-sector strategy and feasibility-study capability with a sound understanding of cycling facilities, multi-discipline sport and local authority provision. The work calls for the ability to consider indoor and outdoor options and complementary multi-sport use as part of a borough-wide assessment, rather than a narrow single-venue study. Experience advising on strategic outcomes, leisure service delivery and active environments would be relevant, as would the capacity to conduct research and develop practical facility options for a council. The award to a specialist leisure consultancy through a framework further competition indicates that suppliers seeking comparable council work should be positioned to deliver this advice through an appropriate framework route.
