## Summary

Sheffield City Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of sport and leisure services in Sheffield, awarding a contract to Sport and Leisure Management. The contract encompasses the management of various leisure centres and sporting venues across Sheffield, including Ponds Forge International Sports Centre, Hillsborough Leisure Centre, and Beauchief Golf Course, among others. The procurement, classified under the industry category of recreational, cultural, and sporting services, follows a negotiated procedure. The contract period starts on 2nd January 2025 and concludes on 31st March 2040, with an estimated value of £378 million.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in sports facilities management, repair and maintenance, sports-event organisation, and related services. The involvement in managing key leisure facilities in Sheffield offers extensive growth potential through a long-term partnership with the city council, particularly given the Council's planned £100 million investment to upgrade several major leisure facilities. Businesses with expertise in areas such as facilities management, commercial property management, and catering services would be well-suited to compete for such a comprehensive and high-value contract.
