Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Milton Keynes Council seeking expressions of interest for the management and maintenance of sports and community facilities in Fairfields, Milton Keynes. This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with a key engagement date set for 8th November 2019. The facilities include a 3rd generation artificial grass pitch, natural grass pitches, and modular changing rooms, with the opening scheduled between September 2020 and September 2021. The procurement will follow the OJEU procedure, and the successful organisation will enter a five-year full repairing and insuring lease, potentially extendable for another five years.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses in the sports facility management and maintenance sector, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs). The project supports not just the local community with improved sporting facilities but also aligns with the aspirations for women's football, particularly in relation to the forthcoming Women's European Championships in 2021. Businesses that specialise in multi-purpose sports services and community engagement will find themselves well-suited to compete for this contract.

Expression of Interest - management and maintenance of the sport and community facilities in Fairfields, Milton Keynes:

Notice Description

Market engagement event for the forthcoming tender for the management and maintenance of the sport and community facilities in Fairfields, Milton Keynes: Wednesday 20th November @ 2pm Milton Keynes Council is pleased to be constructing a new community sports facility in the Western Expansion Area of the city. The new facilities, which will be located in the Fairfields area, will comprise of: * A new full size 3rd generation artificial grass pitch with fencing and flood lighting - due to open September 2020 * Four new natural grass pitches constructed to Sport England Performance Quality Standards - due to open September 2021 * A new modular community changing room building with a 10x13m social area - due to open September 2020 * 160 parking spaces and infrastructure for the above. The facilities, which will be funded by the Football Foundation and developer contributions, have been provided to ensure that local residents have access to high quality sporting facilities, with football and multi-purpose space being the top priority for the area. As well as being the future training ground for three pre-selected community football teams, the Fairfields site is also proposed to be a legacy facility for the forthcoming Women's European Championships, which is being held in Milton Keynes (and other areas of England) in 2021. This means that the development of girls and women's football will be a fundamental outcome for the contract. The facilities at Fairfields have been designed to support this aspiration, as well as usage by the local community. The procurement will be via the OJEU procedure, and the Local Authority will be seeking tenders from a broad range of organisations interested in the management and maintenance of the above facilities, via a five year full repairing and insuring lease, a contract and a performance specification. This five year offer will be extendable for a further five years (ten years in total). Milton Keynes Council is required under the conditions of the Football Foundation to keep a sinking fund of PS25,000 per year for the replacement of the 3G pitch carpet towards the end of this contract. This requirement will be passed on to the operator and has been factored into the sustainable business model for the new facility, along with all of the running costs and potential income from bookings and revenue streams to be managed by the operator. We welcome all potential bidders along to a presentation and question and answer session for this tender on Wednesday 20th November at 2pm in Central Milton Keynes. To express an interest please email mark.culley@milton-keynes.gov.uk.
