Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gedling Borough Council procured preparatory, enabling and investigatory services for Phase 1 of the Carlton Active project. The work is intended to prepare the Richard Herrod Site for subsequent redevelopment and covers ground investigation and site-development activities. It is classified as ground investigation work (CPV 45111250), with site-development work as an additional classification (CPV 45111291). This is a services contract delivered at the Richard Herrod Site in the East Midlands. The requirement forms part of the wider Carlton Active project and relates specifically to preparing an existing property for future leisure-centre redevelopment. The buying organisation is Gedling Borough Council, based at the Civic Centre in Arnold, Nottingham.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 19 July 2026 to Alliance Leisure Services Ltd. The award value is £450,000. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 1 September 2026. The requirement was a selective call-off from the UK Leisure Framework, a specialist framework supporting leisure-centre building. The tender submission deadline was 26 May 2026 at 12:00. The selected supplier is an active SME. The contract concerns the next stage of the Carlton Active project, before subsequent redevelopment, and its stated scope is preparatory, enabling and investigatory work. The published award identifies one supplier and one contract value; no separate lot awards are described.

This award shows demand from Gedling Borough Council for specialist early-stage work supporting leisure-centre redevelopment. Businesses with practical capability in ground investigation, site development, enabling works and property preparation are the closest fit. Experience of working on leisure, civic or other complex redevelopment sites would help demonstrate relevance, particularly where investigations and enabling activities must prepare land for a later construction phase. The route matters commercially: the buyer used a selective call-off from a specialist leisure-building framework, so businesses seeking comparable work should understand that framework-based procurement route and its requirements. The opportunity was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a capable smaller contractor could be credible where it can provide the necessary technical resources, project management and delivery capacity for this type of preparatory package.
