Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Langham Parish Council in Essex has issued an invitation to tender for the design, construction, and installation of a new Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) at Langham, Colchester, Essex, under contract ID LPC2025MUGA. This project, detailed on 24th February 2025, seeks bids for a fixed price contract to cover planning approval through to handover of the completed site. The MUGA will be located on the Grass Recreation Ground, near existing tennis courts at postcode CO4 5PA, and will include features like perimeter fencing, line markings for multiple sports, and a minimum 10-year warranty. The project budget is between £125,000 and £160,000 GBP, with the tender stage closing at midday on 11th April 2025. The contract work is expected to commence on 5th May 2025 and conclude by 30th September 2025.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in construction, sports facilities installation, and playground equipment manufacturing, particularly those capable of offering fixed price quotes and willing to conduct thorough ground surveys. Small and medium-sized enterprises will find this project particularly appealing due to its competitive quotation method below the procurement threshold. Optional supplementary items, such as floodlighting and sporting accessories, provide additional avenues for service and product offerings, enabling further business growth. Interested parties should contact Langham Parish Council to arrange site visits and ensure a comprehensive understanding of the project requirements before submitting their bids.

Notice Title

Multi-Use Games Area Langham Essex

Notice Description

Invitation to Tender - New Multi-Use Games Area at Langham, Colchester, Essex Prepared by Langham Parish Council, Essex. 24th February 2025. Deadline for Final Tender Submission: midday 11th April 2025. Project Specification for fixed price contract offers The essential competitive requirement that all Tenderers must bid for is a fixed price contract for the complete design (including planning approval), construction, installation, commissioning and handover of a new 38 x 18m Multi Use Games Area on the Grass Recreation Ground at Langham, Essex, CO4 5PA. The MUGA is to be sited just to the south of the existing two tennis courts. The MUGA shall meet the performance and construction requirements for a Type 1 MUGA as specified in Appendix A of the current SAPCA Code of Practice for the Construction of Outdoor Multi Use Games Areas. The MUGA shall be surrounded by perimeter edging and fencing of at least 2.5m height, with a single access gate with accessible entry. The MUGA surface shall be provided with line markings in 4 different colours for four different sports (1 tennis court, 1 basketball court, 1 netball pitch and 4 pickleball courts). The MUGA shall be supplied with a minimum 10 year warranty, supported by a specified maintenance regime). In order that Tenderers can provide a competitive fixed price contract offer, it is anticipated that serious Tenderers will want to complete a site visit to inspect the proposed MUGA location and undertake a detailed ground condition survey, prior to confirming their bid price. Prospective Tenderers are invited to contact Langham Parish Council (clerk@langhamparishcouncil.co.uk) at their earliest convenience to schedule a date for this visit, and to advise of any non-refundable charges that will be made for the survey visit, should their tender bid ultimately prove unsuccessful. Tenderers shall propose a staged payment plan with interim payments tied to achievement of project milestones. Prices quoted shall be ex-VAT. Optional Supplementary Items Optional separate quotations are strongly encouraged for any or all of the following additional items: (a) A portable floodlighting solution suitable for after-dark gameplay. (b) Portable tennis nets, portable basketball hoops and stands, portable netball hoops, portable pickleball nets and portable badminton nets. (c) 2 Recessed extensions to the MUGA perimeter fencing, at opposite ends of the MUGA, suitable for use as a pair of soccer goals, to allow for casual soccer games (but without any 5-a-side pitch markings). (d) Installation of a secure storage container solution adjacent to the MUGA. The container size should be sufficient to house all of the items listed in (a) and (b) above. (e) Resurfacing and relining of the existing two tennis courts immediately adjacent to the new MUGA site. These courts were installed just over 20 years ago, and are now beginning to suffer some break-up of the top surface.
