## Summary

Vale of Glamorgan Council procured leisure management services for sports facilities in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. The requirement covers the operation of leisure facilities; the procurement identifies sports facilities operation as the service category. The council is the buyer, and the services are delivered in the Vale of Glamorgan. The contract was awarded to Parkwood Leisure. This is a council leisure-management requirement rather than a purchase of equipment or construction work, and is most relevant to operators with experience managing public sports and leisure facilities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Parkwood Leisure on 13 October 2026. The award value is £5,480,998.33 excluding VAT (£6,577,198 including VAT). The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2034, with provision for two 12-month renewals and a maximum extension date of 25 October 2036. The council made a direct award call-off under a facilities management open framework, using a selective procedure; the call-off was not competitive. There is one lot, covering the leisure-management service. The award is recorded as pending, and a contract signature was scheduled for 26 October 2026.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Vale of Glamorgan Council’s demand for the sustained management and operation of public sports and leisure facilities at substantial scale. A credible competitor for this requirement would need the operational capacity to run leisure facilities over a long-term service contract, with relevant experience in sports-facility operations and the ability to meet the council’s ongoing service needs. The procurement was made through a call-off from an open framework, so familiarity with framework-based public-sector contracting would also be relevant. Parkwood Leisure was selected, providing a market example of the type of leisure operator appointed for this council requirement.
