Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned replacement and installation of a multi-use games area at Sharmon Crescent in Leicester. The 30m by 20m facility is designed for football and basketball, with a sand-dressed second-generation surface, sports equipment storage, fencing and lighting. The works include 3m-high twin-bar panel fencing, with 4.5m-high fencing behind the goals, and four 6m lighting masts with LED fittings. The stated aims are to improve the quality and safety of recreational facilities and make them more accessible to users of all ages and abilities. This is a sports and recreation construction project, delivered in Leicester.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Support in Sport (UK) Ltd following a direct award. The award date was 7 September 2026. The awarded value is £382,960.62. The contract period runs from 18 September to 17 December 2026. The earlier estimated procurement value was £285,252, and the tender deadline was 30 July 2026. The work is presented as a single project rather than a set of separately described lots. The procurement record does not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions; the selection route recorded is direct award.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Leicester City Council, this award demonstrates demand for a complete, site-specific sports facility rather than a standalone equipment supply: the scope combines a sand-dressed multi-use pitch, football and basketball provision, perimeter and goal fencing, LED floodlighting and storage. A credible competitor would need the capacity to coordinate and deliver these construction and installation elements as one integrated project, while meeting the specified fencing heights and lighting performance and designing for safety and access across ages and abilities. The selected contractor is a large company, and the council used a direct award for this procurement; the outcome therefore shows the delivery model and supplier profile used here, not an open competitive evaluation or a stated set of formal qualification requirements.
