Prominent provides tailored consultancy and delivery support to public, private and third-sector organisations across the sport and leisure sector.
Established in 2019, we help clients make confident, evidence-led decisions about facilities, services, investment and operating arrangements. Every commission is shaped around the client’s specific objectives, local context and delivery constraints – never an off-the-shelf solution.
Our advice is grounded in strong operational and commercial experience within the leisure sector. This means we understand not only how strategies, business cases and procurement processes should work in principle, but how leisure facilities, services and contracts perform in practice.
We support clients across the full leisure lifecycle, from strategy, needs assessment and feasibility through to business planning, design review, procurement, bid support and service improvement.
By combining robust analysis, sector insight and practical delivery experience, we develop clear and defensible recommendations that balance financial sustainability, operational performance and long-term community outcomes.
Feasibility Studies
Tailored, evidence-led studies that test the need, viability and affordability of new or improved leisure facilities and services.
We bring together demand, operational and financial analysis to give clients a clear basis for investment and delivery decisions.
Options Appraisals
Structured assessments of the available delivery, investment and operating options.
We evaluate the benefits, costs and risks of each approach to identify the solution that best meets the client’s strategic, financial and operational objectives.
Leisure Procurement
Specialist support through every stage of the leisure procurement process, from commercial strategy and tender development to evaluation, negotiation and mobilisation.
Our approach helps clients secure compliant, sustainable and value-for-money operating arrangements.
Business Planning
Practical business plans that connect strategic ambition with operational delivery and robust financial modelling.
We help clients build credible, investment-ready proposals supported by clear assumptions, risks and implementation plans.
Leisure Strategies
Evidence-led strategies that establish clear priorities for leisure provision, investment and service development.
Our recommendations reflect community need, policy objectives, facility performance and the practical realities of delivery.
Independent Design Reviews
Objective reviews of leisure facility designs at key stages of development.
We assess functionality, customer experience, operational efficiency and commercial performance to identify improvements before they become costly to resolve.
Needs Assessments
Data-led assessments of current and future demand for sport and leisure provision.
We combine demographic, participation, facility and stakeholder evidence to inform planning, investment and funding decisions.
Bid Writing & Management
End-to-end bid support for leisure operators, sector partners and professional teams.
We help develop the solution, manage the submission and produce clear, persuasive responses that maximise compliance, differentiation and scoring potential.
