By Staff Writer | 08-09-2026
Denbighshire Leisure Ltd and Denbighshire County Council have published a contract award notice for the UK Leisure Framework 2026-2034, naming Alliance Leisure Services Limited of Bristol as the sole supplier. The notice records a contract value of 6,000,000,000 pounds excluding VAT, 7,200,000,000 pounds including VAT, an award decision on 28 August 2026 and estimated contract dates of 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2034.
What the notice records
The notice is a UK6 contract award notice under the Procurement Act 2023, published on 7 September 2026 under notice identifier 2026/S 000-084548. It states that the procurement establishes a framework and that the main procurement category is works. The framework runs for eight years from 1 October 2026, with options to extend for a further two years, either as two one-year extensions or as a single two-year extension, to 30 September 2036. Ten years in total is the maximum term recorded.
The award decision date is 28 August 2026. Assessment summaries were sent to tenderers on 7 September 2026 and the standstill period ends on 16 September 2026, eight working days later. The earliest date the contract will be signed is 18 September 2026. The framework is therefore awarded but not yet signed, and the dates on the notice are stated as estimates.
The contract value is recorded as 6,000,000,000 pounds excluding VAT and 7,200,000,000 pounds including VAT. That figure is the value of the framework as a whole over its maximum term, not a sum committed to any project. It is the ceiling within which call-off contracts may be placed by the bodies that use the framework.
One tender, one supplier
The information about tenders on the notice is short. One tender was received and one was assessed in the final stage. That tender was submitted by a small or medium-sized enterprise. One supplier was awarded a contract and no suppliers were unsuccessful. The procedure was the competitive flexible procedure.
The supplier is Alliance Leisure Services Limited, Companies House number 02723797, of 2430-2440 The Quadrant, Aztec West, Bristol, BS32 4AQ. The notice records it as a small or medium-sized enterprise and lists Alliance Finance Limited, registration number 09340368, at the same address as a connected organisation.
The scope, as classified. The notice classifies the framework across eighteen CPV codes. The construction codes are 45212000, construction work for buildings relating to leisure, sports, culture, lodging and restaurants; 45211350, multi-functional buildings construction work; 45215130, clinic construction work; and 45112000, excavating and earthmoving work. Alongside those sit 71200000, architectural and related services; 71420000, landscape architectural services; 51100000, installation services of electrical and mechanical equipment; and 66000000, financial and insurance services.
The remaining codes cover leisure machinery and apparatus, sports goods and equipment, sporting services, advertising and marketing services, office and computer equipment, industry specific software, research and development, staff training and business and management consultancy. The contract location is recorded as the whole of the United Kingdom.
The notice reserves the right to additional purchases while the contract is valid, and describes Schedule 8 modifications including the addition of scope that relates to the original service areas and transfer on corporate restructuring.
Who let it
Two contracting authorities are named. Denbighshire Leisure Ltd, Companies House number 12178578, of 8-11 Trem-y-Dyffryn, Denbigh, is recorded as a public undertaking, a commercial organisation subject to public authority oversight. Denbighshire County Council of Wynnstay Road, Ruthin, is recorded as a public authority, sub-central government. The devolved regulations that apply are those of Wales. Enquiries are directed to Denbighshire Leisure Ltd.
What the record does not say. The notice does not describe how other public bodies access the framework, does not list any call-off contract, and does not name any project. It does not state a minimum spend. The 6,000,000,000 pounds figure should be read as the published ceiling of an eight to ten year, UK-wide framework with a single supplier, and nothing more should be inferred from it. This desk has not seen an announcement from the supplier or the authority beyond the notice itself, and the article rests on the notice alone.
