Summary of the contracting process

The Mercian Trust, under the framework of an open procedure, recently completed the procurement process for the design and construction of new sports facilities at Queen Mary's Grammar School in Walsall. The project, categorised under construction work, aims to enhance the school's sporting infrastructure via the installation of an artificial pitch and other sporting amenities. While the initial contract was set with a tender process closing on 14th February 2025 and ultimately awarded to Blakedown Sport & Play Limited for a value of approximately £1.16 million, the operational details for the contract which started on 29th April 2025 indicate the tendering stage was a robust challenge, emphasized by the requirement for electronic and written submissions assessed on quality and price criteria.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the construction and architectural design sector, particularly those specialising in sports facility development. Companies that can demonstrate strong economic capabilities, with a minimum turnover of £24 million and sufficient insurance levels, could potentially find similar future opportunities fruitful. The open procedure in this past procurement also suggests an inclusive environment for businesses equipped to meet high-quality standards and technical proficiency, enabling them to grow through engagement in large-scale public sector projects.
