The project involved the design, supply, and installation of artificial grass pitches, classified under the CPV category for artificial grass and lawn, indicating its relevance to businesses in the goods industry, particularly within synthetic surfaces. The procurement utilised a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period concluding on 3rd June 2025. The contract itself spans from 4th June 2025 to 30th January 2026, and pertains to the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in sports infrastructure or artificial surfaces. Given the project's location in the South East of England and the alignment with public sector demand, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in artificial surfaces could have leveraged this opportunity to expand their portfolio and footprint. Larger entities like the awarded supplier, Lano Sports NV, a large-scale company based in Belgium, showcase that competitive bids can come from firms with robust supply and installation capabilities, regardless of geographic base. SMEs could emulate this model by showcasing their proficiency and reliability in similar bids to capture future contracts within the public procurement framework.
