Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for "St Ives RFC – Sport Pitch & Soft Landscaping" was led by Cornwall Council, focusing on constructing a high-quality natural rugby sports pitch with associated landscaping enhancements. The project, located in the UKK30 region of the United Kingdom, involved an open below-threshold competition. The procurement phase began with a tender notice published on 19 May 2025 and culminated in a contract awarded to W.R.SANDOW LIMITED on 23 September 2025, with the contract running until 27 October 2026. This process was supported by WARD WILLIAMS ASSOCIATES LLP, acting as the project manager.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) experienced in sports facility development, landscaping, and maintenance. Given the focus on creating a top-tier sports pitch, businesses with expertise in high-quality turf establishment, drainage systems, and contractor-designed lighting are ideally suited to compete. With a 12-month maintenance period post-completion, there is potential for ongoing work to meet performance benchmarks, offering further business growth opportunities. The procurement was executed under an open competition method, ensuring a transparent selection process promoting fair competition.
