Working With a Development Partner

Alliance Leisure provides a unique complete leisure development solution, from initial feasibility and business planning through to design, build, and funding if required.
A key benefit to our approach is the management and mitigation of risk. We will enter into contract with you to deliver the project at an agreed sum. We will also enter into the building contract, giving protection should there be any cost overruns (subject to an apportioned risk register).
Undertaking a leisure development typically involves finding and co-ordinating several companies, but with Alliance Leisure you will have one agreement, one relationship. We will look to absorb project headaches, supporting you through the project delivery process in an efficient and effective manner.
Another principal advantage of the Alliance Leisure delivery model is our abundance of experience and resources, which enables the delivery of a high-quality facility on time and on budget. Alliance Leisure boasts a team of leisure experts who are committed to supporting you through the development of your project. From our regional Business Development Teams who will oversee every step of your project, to our Insight and Engagement Teams who provide value at all project stages, from opportunity analysis and consultation through to brand development and marketing activities.

RIBA-Aligned Approach

Our approach to projects is aligned with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Plan of Work 2020, ensuring a clear, logical, and thorough progression for you; our client, us, and our supply chain.

What makes Alliance Leisure different is the breadth of our support – we work alongside our clients from RIBA 0, Strategic Definition, right through to RIBA 7, Use, and beyond.

A Transparent and Efficient Procurement Process: The UK Leisure Framework

After a PCR-compliant competitive tendering process in 2022, Alliance Leisure were appointed as lead development partner of the UK Leisure Framework, which allows for the direct appointment of ALS as a development partner for the scoping, design, refurbishment, construction and the development of sport, leisure, and other cultural facilities across the UK public sector.

Further, appointing Alliance Leisure via the UK Leisure Framework enables us to activate our extensive, trusted supply chain, allowing the project to progress without the hassle of tendering and procuring a host of separate suppliers.
