Summary of the contracting process

Warrington Borough Council has initiated a procurement process under an open procedure for the planning application, construction, and operation of three covered and lit padel courts at Birchwood Community Hub. This project falls under the industry category of sports facilities operation services and includes additional work related to the management of lighting and associated facilities. The current two under-utilised outdoor tennis courts will be repurposed for this project. The procurement is in the tender stage, with an end date for submission set for 3 April 2025, followed by the opening and award periods beginning on 7 April 2025. This tender presents an opportunity for service providers in the sporting facilities and operational management sectors, particularly those experienced in managing long-term concessions and lease agreements.

This tender provides a significant business growth opportunity for construction firms specialising in sports facility projects and operational management. Companies involved in planning and lighting installation, as well as those with experience in securing and managing lease agreements for sports venues, will be well-suited to compete. The winning provider will gain the rights to operate the padel courts for 15 years under a concession agreement, with the potential for the contract to be re-advertised upon completion. This long-term project with Warrington Borough Council can enhance business portfolios and offer substantial, stable income over the contract period.
