About

Sheffield City Council awarded a contract to Sport and Leisure Management for the management of selected leisure centres, golf courses, the English Institute of Sport, and Ice Sheffield venue within the city.

The contract covers facilities including Ponds Forge International Sports Centre, English Institute of Sport, Ice Sheffield, Hillsborough Leisure Centre, Concord Sports Centre, Springs Leisure Centre, Heeley Pool and Gym, Beauchief Golf Course, Birley Wood Golf Course (with an option to remove), and Tinsley Golf Course from January 2025, and Graves Health and Sports Centre, Thorncliffe Health and Leisure Centre, and Wisewood Sports Centre from April 2026.

The operator is expected to commit to a partnership approach with the Council.

The Council has provisionally secured approximately £100 million in capital funding to invest in the leisure estate, with proposals to replace three major facilities—Hillsborough, Concord, and Springs—and make improvements to Ponds Forge.

The estimated contract value is based on the estimated facilities turnover across the maximum contract term.
