Summary of the contracting process

Stevenage Borough Council procured the main construction contract for a new leisure centre in the East of England, following a pre-construction services agreement. The work is construction of a sports facility, covering the delivery of the completed leisure centre rather than a standalone supply of goods or consultancy services. The council is the buying organisation and the project is based in the East of England. This opportunity is relevant to principal contractors and construction businesses with experience delivering major leisure, sports or other public-sector facilities, particularly those able to take a project from pre-construction through main construction. The procurement is categorised as works and relates to sports-facility construction.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Stevenage Borough Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from the SCAPE Construction Framework. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026 at 23:59. Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd was awarded the contract on 31 July 2026 for £39,383,512.67 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 1 November 2028. The award is active. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one main construction requirement. The procurement’s estimated value and the awarded value are both £39,383,512.67; no separate lot values are reported.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear benchmark for the type of contractor Stevenage Borough Council selected for a major leisure-centre build. A credible competitor for comparable future work would need to operate at large-contractor scale, deliver complex sports or leisure facilities, and manage the transition from a pre-construction services agreement into the main construction phase. Experience coordinating design development, construction delivery, programme control, subcontractors, health and safety, quality and public-sector client requirements would be commercially relevant. Access to, and a strong delivery record under, an appropriate construction framework would also matter, because this requirement was procured through a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender.
