Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured consultancy support for the installation of 3G artificial-turf sports pitches in Rushcliffe Borough. The requirement covers business and management consultancy, including development consultancy, general management advice and sport-related services. The work is a professional advisory commission connected with planning and delivering new sports facilities, rather than the construction or physical installation of the pitches themselves. Delivery is in the East Midlands, within Rushcliffe Borough, Nottinghamshire. The buying organisation is Nottinghamshire County Council. The procurement is categorised as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The named supplier is Optimum Pitch Limited.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a restricted procedure, using a selective procurement method. The contract was awarded to Optimum Pitch Limited on 9 September 2026 for £25,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 28 April 2028. The tender submission deadline was 17 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was treated as a single consultancy opportunity, with no separate lots recorded. The published outcome identifies an active award and the council as buyer. The source data does not set out individual quality, cost or other evaluation weightings, so the award basis cannot be described beyond the use of the restricted procedure.

This procurement indicates demand from Nottinghamshire County Council for specialist consultancy supporting the development of 3G sports pitches in Rushcliffe Borough. A credible competitor for similar work would need to combine project advisory capability with practical knowledge of sports-facility development, including the planning, coordination and management issues involved in delivering artificial-turf pitches. Relevant experience should include advising public-sector or community clients, translating facility objectives into deliverable projects, and coordinating stakeholders and technical inputs through development. The requirement is expressly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so a smaller specialist consultancy or mission-led organisation could be well placed where it can demonstrate reliable delivery capacity. Experience linking consultancy advice to sports infrastructure outcomes would be particularly relevant when this buyer next requires comparable support.
