Leisure & Sport

BENSACI has a dedicated team of professionals supporting customers who are looking for an initial protection and then a transformation of their services in the future.

We work in the leisure sector to share learning and best practices among the customer community that we work with locally or globally.

We care passionately about the communities that local authorities and their partners serve and will bring all our experience to bear in the coming months.

We still see this crisis as a transformational opportunity and want to work with clients who share this optimism with us.

We use our deep understanding of the sector to help local authorities develop their strategies for leisure, sport and physical activity, cultural services and procuring new operational partnerships. Our work often has a strong link to public health and wider cross-cutting agendas such as regeneration, community cohesion, localism and place-making.

We like seeing the development of well-designed, sustainable and popular leisure and community facilities. We have supported many clients in taking their project from concept right through to completion. Our work has resulted in of sustainable capital schemes worth hundreds of millions of pounds being successfully developed.

BENSACI leisure and sport has recently emerged as the Algerian market-leader in leisure procurement, supporting councils with their leisure procurements and forging the right operational partnerships, often saving councils millions in the process.

We have encompassed all sports in the country. We manage leisure centres with swimming pools and gyms; climbing wall; athletics track; golf facility and several dedicated football pitches.

We know that the majority of the population will seldom or never visit a purpose-built sports or leisure facility. We therefore passionately believe that providing opportunities for people to be more active needs to go way beyond the traditional local leisure centre. With walking, running and cycling being amongst the most popular forms of physical activity, there is a captive audience wanting to do more outside rather than in.

Whether you need a service or organisational review, management options appraisal, business management advice or research and evaluation support, we can help you on the transformation journey. We are also repeatedly called upon to provide specialist input to inform planning applications, appeals and inquiries for new developments.

Through our strategic partners Set Square we can support you with leisure and culture specific condition surveys. These ensure you fully understand and can profile lifecycle costs in future, which are capable of supporting investment decisions.

BENSACI has a strong track record in providing detailed planning evidence to secure investment in sites, whether it be a leisure specific development, mixed development or alternative use of a former leisure site.
