## Summary

Leeds City Council is initiating an open procurement process to develop a Playing Pitch Strategy, prioritising the health and wellbeing of residents by enhancing sports facilities. This tender, classified under development consultancy services, is valued at £70,000 and focuses on both reducing physical inactivity and meeting the demand for sports facilities in Leeds. The tender process is currently at the tender stage, with important dates including an enquiry period ending on 19th June 2026 and a submission deadline on 26th June 2026. The contract is set to commence on 1st September 2026 and conclude by 31st August 2027, with a potential extension up to August 2028 should it be necessary.

This tender opens significant opportunities for consultancy businesses specialising in the development of sports strategies. Ideal candidates are those with proven experience in creating playing pitch strategies, effective community engagement, and addressing inequalities. The evaluation will be based on a 60% weight on quality and 40% on the price. Businesses in the development consultancy sector, particularly those with expertise in public health and sports facility management, stand to benefit through collaboration and strategic planning with the Council. This contract presents a growth opportunity for firms looking to expand their portfolios within public sector projects, particularly in the sports and physical activity domain.

## Notice

Following a lengthy period without an up to date playing pitch strategy for the Leeds City Council area, it has been agreed that the timing is appropriate to address this issue. Reducing physical inactivity and increasing physical activity to improve health and wellbeing of residents is a priority for the city, therefore, having a robust understanding and strategic approach to the supply, demand and opportunities for sports facilities is essential. Sport England has awarded a contribution towards the development of this playing pitch strategy through an externally appointed, Sport England approved consultant.
