Summary of the contracting process

Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council procured services for Ballyclare Rugby Football Club, supporting the creation of a multi-facility sports hub at The Cloughan, Doagh Road, Ballyclare. The scope covers landscape architectural, civil engineering consultancy and construction management services for a 3G multi-sports pitch with fencing and floodlights, an artificial hockey pitch with fencing and refurbished floodlights, improvements to the cricket square and outfield, and upgrades to grass rugby pitches including drainage and floodlighting. It also includes associated landscaping, infrastructure, planning and design work. Delivery must be managed in phases while the sports hub remains active. The buying organisation is Ballyclare Rugby Football Club, with Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council acting on its behalf.

The procurement has been completed through a selective restricted procedure. The tender deadline was 24 September 2021 at 3pm, with invitations to the second stage issued on 22 October 2021. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%; suitability and technical requirements were set out in the pre-qualification and procurement documents. The estimated value was £230,000 excluding any stated tax, with a planned contract duration of 1,080 days and no renewal. Three bids were received. Doran Consulting Limited was awarded the contract for the requirement, with an awarded contract value of £174,844. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 2 March 2022; the contract itself is active. Options to modify the contract under NEC3 terms were included.

This requirement is most relevant to multidisciplinary infrastructure, sports-facility and landscape practices able to combine design consultancy with construction management. Credible competitors would need experience designing or upgrading outdoor sports facilities, including artificial and grass pitches, drainage, floodlighting, perimeter fencing, landscaping and associated infrastructure. Capability in planning and phased delivery is important because works take place within an operating sports hub. The procurement also tests technical and organisational suitability through pre-qualification documentation, and requires bidders to identify the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Strong candidates would therefore have appropriately qualified personnel, coordinated project-management capacity and experience managing construction interfaces, quality and stakeholder requirements. Performance is monitored during delivery, so suppliers need robust contract-management and performance-control arrangements.
