Appendix C
Places Leisure Performance Management Framework
This is a contract monitoring framework for Places Leisure, setting out what must be reviewed, how often, and how compliance is evidenced. The strongest emphasis is on health, safety, maintenance, and statutory compliance, with recurring checks covering fire safety, risk assessments, emergency lighting, accidents, equipment, certificates, insurance, and business continuity.
Monitoring is structured by frequency: monthly, quarterly, 6-monthly, and annual reviews, using onsite inspections, shared records, online systems, spot checks, and officer oversight.
We also check service quality and inclusivity, including accessible information, pricing controls, customer service, staff training, safeguarding, and programme delivery at both Leisure centres.
