Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured construction works for PlayZones at Armadale Drive, under the PAN3504 programme. The project concerns the delivery of a recreational and sporting facility, with the procurement classified as recreational, cultural and sporting services (CPV 92000000) and the main category recorded as works. Delivery is in the East Midlands, at Armadale Drive. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is focused on building the PlayZone rather than supplying general goods or routine services. This is a local authority project for businesses involved in the construction and delivery of sports, recreation or community play facilities. The stated purpose is to create PlayZones at the named site, providing a defined site-based construction opportunity for an appropriately capable contractor.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Leicester City Council used a direct award, described as a direct award under the Football Foundation. The contract was awarded to Support in Sport (UK) Ltd on 4 May 2026 for £238,640 GBP. The contract period runs from 11 May 2026 to 10 July 2026. The tender submission deadline was 4 May 2026 at 12:00. There were no lots identified, and the published outcome records one supplier and one awarded value. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than an open competitive tender. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award shows that Leicester City Council buys delivered construction services for PlayZone and sports-facility projects through a direct-award route linked to the Football Foundation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in constructing outdoor recreational or sporting facilities, managing site delivery and completing works to the council’s required standard. The successful supplier was recorded as a large organisation, while the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the buyer viewed substantial organisational capacity as relevant to this requirement. Businesses with a proven record in comparable PlayZone, sports or community recreation construction should monitor this council’s related demand and understand the route used for procurement.
