The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham has awarded a contract for the operation of its leisure services to Sports and Leisure Management Ltd (SLM). The contract pertains to the operation of key facilities including Abbey Leisure Centre, Becontree Heath Leisure Centre, and Jim Peters Stadium. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure, and the award was announced on 7th October 2024.

This tender presents numerous business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in sports facilities operation services.

Businesses in the recreational, cultural, and sporting services sector, especially those that can offer high-quality service to meet required standards and exceed customer expectations, would find this contract beneficial. Firms with a focus on delivering social value and maintaining facilities to a high standard throughout the contract’s lifecycle are well-suited to partner with the primary operator to maximise the operational efficiency and community benefit.
