## Summary

Sheffield City Council is procuring the design and construction of a replacement Springs leisure centre in Sheffield. The scheme includes a five-court sports hall, a 25-metre swimming pool and a 13-metre learner pool, health suite, wet and dry changing areas, pool viewing area, soft play, co-located offices and wellbeing hub, multi-use fitness studio, three studios, competition-standard indoor bowls and pool plant. The existing building is to be demolished and replaced with permeable paving. This is a major leisure-facilities construction project, covering both the new centre and the associated demolition and external works.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Willmott Dixon Construction Limited on 30 September 2026. The award value is £40,183,933.13. The contract period runs from 9 November 2026 to 5 March 2029. The estimated procurement value was £40 million. The works were procured through a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 24 September 2026. The published details identify the contract scope, but do not set out an evaluation weighting or specific award criteria. Sheffield City Council is the buyer.

For firms considering comparable future leisure-centre projects for Sheffield City Council, this award demonstrates demand for a large, integrated construction package rather than a single specialist facility. A credible lead contractor would need the capacity and experience to design and deliver complex public leisure buildings, coordinating sports, aquatic, health, community and office spaces alongside pool plant, demolition and external paving. The scope points to a need to manage several specialist workstreams and interfaces, including swimming-pool construction, sports facilities, changing provision and public-facing amenities. The council used a framework call-off route and selected a large construction company; suppliers seeking to compete on a similar requirement would need suitable framework access and the ability to deliver a project of this breadth and complexity.
