Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

York St John University is seeking a contractor to supply and install a canopy over its outdoor padel facility at the Sports Campus in York. The works are intended to protect the facility from poor weather, reduce weather-related closures and support continued operation for as much of the construction period as reasonably practicable. This is construction work for sports facilities, covering the physical installation of the canopy rather than general sports operations or routine maintenance. The delivery location is York, in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement may suit businesses that undertake specialist canopy, sports-facility or related construction and installation work, particularly contractors able to plan and carry out works around an operating outdoor facility.

The procurement has reached tender: York St John University invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 14 September 2026 at 12:00 British Summer Time. The planned contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 2 February 2027. The estimated contract value is between £100,000 and £500,000, in total for the procurement. The requirement is classified as works. The contracting authority states that the opportunity may be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers should review the tender requirements and submit an offer in accordance with the open-procedure arrangements and the buyer’s stated deadline.

This opportunity suits a contractor with the capability to design or provide the specified canopy solution, manage its supply, and complete installation works at a sports facility. Relevant strengths include experience in outdoor structures, sports or leisure sites, construction planning, site logistics, temporary works and coordinating installation around continued facility use. The successful business will need sufficient personnel, equipment, project management and supply-chain capacity to deliver the works within the planned construction window while limiting disruption and weather-related shutdowns. It may be suitable for an SME with a focused construction or specialist installation offer, provided it can demonstrate the technical competence, resources and delivery approach required by the tender. Businesses with closely related sports-facility construction experience should consider pursuing it.
