Following the success of previous iterations of the UK Leisure Framework, Denbighshire Leisure Limited (DLL) is again seeking to appoint a development partner to undertake feasibility studies and work with clients to deliver the findings including those findings that increase the sustainability and efficiency, develop business plans, plan, manage, operate and perform, or procure the performance of all works, supplies and services in respect of leisure, sport, recreation, well-bring, health and cultural related projects. Proposed projects are to include, but not be limited to: multi-use, single use or any combination of uses of developments ranging from leisure, sport, recreation, well-bring, health and cultural, indoor, outdoor, recreation, theatre, hotels, restaurants, office, museums, spas etc.
This Framework will be the fourth iteration of UK Leisure Framework and will seek to improve and build upon the successes of the earlier iterations. The previous iterations of the Framework have had an outstanding reputation to-date, and the selected bidder will need to demonstrate how they will deliver this Framework in partnership with DLL to achieve even greater successes in the future.
The Framework is to be for a period of eight years with the potential for extension for a further 2 years on a year-by-year basis.
The Framework will be available to a wider range of clients, with a wider range of services than in previous iterations. The Framework will be accessible to a national UK audience, consisting not just of public sector entities, but also the following entities:
• Central government departments on a nationwide basis
• Public sector arm’s length organisations and other Public Private Partnerships
• Private Finance Initiatives as they are coming up for refresh
• Third sector clients (e.g. not-for-profit, charities etc.)
• Universities
• Quasi Autonomous Non-Governmental Organisations (Quango’s) / Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPB’s)
• Non-Ministerial Departments
• Ministerial Departments
• Agencies and Other Public Bodies

• The Fire Service
• The Health Service including the Health Trusts
• The Ministry of Defence (MoD)
• The Police
• Schools
• Colleges
• Academy Trusts
• Sports England
• Any other organisation in receipt of direct government funding
The appointed development partner will have significant and demonstrable experience in the wellbeing, health, leisure, recreation, and multifunctional development market, and in delivering services and projects in a ‘turnkey’ package for their clients. The scope of services required under the Framework should be considered significant for the appointed development partner. Based on lessons learned from previous iterations of the framework the development partner will be requirement to have the organisation structure, quality sub-contractor supply chain and internal resources in place to deliver a UK wide framework at the commencement of the commission.

• A procurement structure and strategy for their project which gives the client cost certainty before they commit to proceeding with their development and enter into contract.
• Developing client designs working as necessary with an appropriate design team.

• Act as the Employer under the build contract and take some of the risk of the Project until Practical Completion and provide customer support to the Client even after the achievement of Practical Completion chasing rectification of defects and any other issues.
• Support the client in the long-term strategic planning of the facility and wider leisure provision to ensure a viable and sustainable facility is developed and managed.
• Provide the expertise to assist the client to develop a business model, considering the wider community and the provisions that are already available within that arena.
