Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire has recently completed a procurement process to construct a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) at its Bedford Campus, located at Polhill Avenue, MK41 9EA. This project, classified under the CPV code for multi-purpose sports facilities construction works, was initiated through a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action below the procurement threshold. The tender period ended on 8 March 2019, and the contract commenced on 8 April 2019, concluding on 22 May 2019. The contract, valued at £101,000, was awarded to Blakedown Environment & Leisure on 1 April 2019.

This tender presents valuable growth opportunities for businesses in the construction and sports facility industry. Companies that specialise in the design and construction of sports facilities, particularly those with experience in multi-purpose recreational spaces, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. The procurement process favoured SMEs, suggesting that smaller firms with relevant expertise could thrive in this sector, especially those capable of delivering high-quality construction services within a specified timeframe.
