Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Huncote Leisure Centre Minor Works" has been completed by Blaby District Council, with Greenfield Technical Services awarded the contract. This project is aimed at carrying out minor works at the Huncote Leisure Centre, focusing on former BMX tracks and the installation of gas monitoring wells, with the work scheduled to start on 1st September 2025 and end on 31st March 2026. With a value of £40,641.22, the contract involves essential infrastructure improvements to mitigate landfill gas issues at the site, ensuring its future safety and potential reopening. The procurement method used was direct, acknowledging the need for specialist skills provided by the incumbent supplier and was conducted without competition, under the threshold limit. This contract falls under the category of 'works' in the UKF22 region, specifically referencing landfill-gas electricity generating plant construction work.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses with expertise in landfill management and site-specific infrastructure improvements. Particularly well-suited are small to medium enterprises (SMEs) due to the project's focus on specialist knowledge and site-specific experience. Companies operating in the fields of construction and environmental management, particularly those experienced in landfill gas mitigation systems and recreational area repairs, could leverage this contract to strengthen their portfolio. This procurement not only underscores the demand for skilled services in public infrastructure projects but also highlights opportunities for companies that offer innovative solutions and have a track record of past performance at similar sites.

Notice Title

Huncote Leisure Centre Minor Works

Notice Description

Blaby District Council wishes to appoint a single provider for the provision of minor works to former small BMX track and installation of gas monitoring wells and break up of tarmac areas at current BMX track. The purpose of this notice is to notify the market of the decision to award this contract to the incumbent supplier, due to the specialist nature of these works and the supplier having the necessary expertise and equipment to carry out these works. The incumbent provider has previously installed pipe works and mainfolds at the same site and therefore also has extensive knowledge of the works site. Following the emergency situation at the leisure centre in November 2021, significant investment has been made into the site, deploying various passive and active venting infrastructure to manage the levels and migration of landfill gases at a cost of over PS400k. The works proposed as part of this will increase the coverage of the landfill gas mitigation system and will help to prevent migration of landfill gases from this area of the site. Additionally, the works are required to ensure safety of the site (i.e. reduced surface migration of gases) with regards to a potential future public reopening. The works to the BMX track will reduce the Council's liability at the site.

Planning Information

The Council has already approached 2 local providers and believes that there are a limited number of suppliers that possess the site specific knowledge required to be able to undertake this work. Greenfield Technical Services is the incumbent provider that installed the manifolds and existing landfill gas pipework and therefore have the site specific knowledge required to do any repairs. An alternative supplier was consulted to understand the extent of the works required on the BMX tracks only and to gain a second opinion, ensuring that the works specified were fit for purpose and the right course of action to be taken. The second supplier is not able to undertake the installation of gas wells. However, the Council wanted to ensure there is no other supplier in the market other than the incumbent that can offer the same extensive knowledge of the site and ability to conduct the repairs. The purpose of this notice is to inform the market of the engagement that has taken place so far with suppliers as it considers the next steps available.
