Developing management solutions for leisure, sport and community facilities can be complex. It requires deep operational expertise, a strong understanding of governance models and up-to-date knowledge of procurement and performance monitoring. At FMG Consulting, we help public and education sector clients identify, implement and manage the most effective operating solutions for their facilities.
Whether you’re reviewing an existing contract, bringing facilities in-house, planning to outsource or considering other options, we can help.

Custom Operating Models That Work
We understand no two facilities operate completely the same which is why we tailor our approach to your specific requirements, ensuring your facility runs efficiently, delivers value and serves the needs of the local community.
The services we offer include:
Management options appraisal
Helping you understand all the delivery models: in-house management, trust, LATCO or private options
Procurement and contracts
Helping you through the entire procurement process from tender development to evaluating bids and awarding contracts
Insourcing and LATCO setup
Providing practical support for local authorities bringing services back in-house or setting up a Local Authority Trading Company (LATCO)
Interim management
Experienced leisure professionals ready to step in and provide short-term management while longer-term arrangements are secured
Contract monitoring
Ensuring your operator delivers on KPIs, contract obligations, and value for money
The Benefits

We don’t believe in off-the shelf solutions. At FMG our focus is on helping you get the most from your facilities and maximising operational efficiency. We can help you improve your facility’s performance both financially and socially.
We aim to help drive income streams, reduce running costs, secure the right operator or delivery model, ensure compliance with legislation and national guidance, and boost the social and economic value of your services.
By partnering with us you’ll gain a clearer understanding of the measures necessary to optimise your services and better meet your community’s needs.
Why FMG?
Our team has extensive sector experience with senior professionals who have run public leisure facilities themselves. We’ve successfully worked with clients throughout the country on large-scale tenders, implementing agency contracts and monitoring complex partnerships.
We understand the challenges you face, the current market conditions and the questions you have around facilities management. Whether it’s the market appetite for bidding, how agency contracts work, vetting potential operators or simply how you monitor and manage contracts more effectively, we have the answers, backed up by real-world experience.
Flexible And Ongoing Support
While tenders can take 12 to 18 months, our support can start as early as the options appraisal phase and continue right through to delivery. We can provide ongoing support when you need it or offer three-month management options depending on your requirements.
