Blackpool Council wants a contractor to build two 7‑a‑side 3G football pitches, a multi‑use games area, two padel courts and landscaping at a site next to Blackpool Football Club, with work starting in November 2026 and finishing by summer 2027.
Requirements
- Demonstrate capability to deliver 3G football pitches, padel courts and associated landscaping
- Ability to work under the Lead Consultant appointed by the Council throughout the project
- Comply with the RIBA Stage 3 design package and any planning conditions (decision expected September 2026)
- Offer the most advantageous tender in terms of price, quality and delivery schedule
- Provide a 12‑month defects liability period after practical completion
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Construct two 7‑a‑side 3G artificial football pitches
- Build one Multi‑Use Games Area (MUGA) to council specifications
- Install two padel courts with required surfacing and fencing
- Carry out all associated landscaping, hard‑ and soft‑works around the sports facilities
- Coordinate all works with the Council’s Lead Consultant and adhere to the approved design
- Deliver the completed scheme by Spring/Summer 2027 and manage the 12‑month defects period
How to Read This Tender
- 1Check the RIBA Stage 3 design documents – they define the exact dimensions, surface types and ancillary works you must build
- 2Look for the evaluation criteria – “most advantageous tender” usually means price is weighted against quality, programme and social value
- 3Note the critical dates: planning decision (Sept 2026), contract start (Nov 2026) and completion (Spring/Summer 2027) – any delay can disqualify a bid
- 4Read the sections on insurance, CDM duties and defects liability – they are mandatory contractual obligations
- 5Identify any omitted information (e.g., health‑and‑safety plans, subcontractor approvals) and flag them for clarification before you submit
Tips for Small Businesses
- Partner with a specialist sports‑surface subcontractor if you lack in‑house 3G or padel expertise – this strengthens your capability statement
- Highlight any local social value you can bring (e.g., employing local labour, community sport programmes) as many councils award extra points to SMEs
- Consider forming a consortium with a design‑and‑build partner to cover the lead‑consultant coordination requirement and spread risk
