Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured a service and maintenance contract for the 3G artificial-turf pitch at Parson Cross Park in Sheffield. The work covers maintaining a sports facility and sports field, with associated parks maintenance. The requirement is for ongoing servicing and maintenance of the pitch rather than construction or a new installation. The buyer is Sheffield City Council, a local authority, and delivery is at Parson Cross Park. The procurement was treated as a services requirement. This is relevant to businesses providing specialist maintenance for 3G synthetic sports pitches, sports facilities or managed sports grounds, particularly those able to work for a local authority in Sheffield and maintain pitch quality, safety and usability over a multi-year service arrangement.

The procurement has been completed through an open procedure. Two bids were received, both electronically, and the contract was awarded to Pitch and Track Ltd. The contract value is £5,202 including the stated currency of GBP, and the contract was signed on 2 March 2026. The planned contract duration was three years, or 1,080 days, with no renewal or additional purchase options. The tender deadline was 17 January 2025 at 4pm, with evaluation scheduled from that date and bid opening at the same time. Evaluation placed 70% on price and 30% on quality. The award is recorded as active and the contract as active. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Sheffield City Council for specialist, recurring maintenance of a 3G pitch at a public park. A credible competitor would need practical experience servicing synthetic sports pitches and sports facilities, including the ability to maintain playing quality, safety and reliable availability throughout a long-term contract. The evaluation shows that price was the dominant consideration, but quality still carried a substantial weighting, so suppliers would need to present a competitive and clearly evidenced service method rather than relying on low pricing alone. The two electronic bids indicate that suppliers in this market compete through a straightforward digital tender route. Businesses with established sports-surface maintenance capability, suitable operational capacity and experience delivering consistent services for public-sector or community sports facilities would be well placed for a future requirement of this type.
