UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the refurbishment of tennis courts is being led by Sherfield on Loddon Parish Council, situated in Basingstoke, UK. This tender, titled "Refurbishment of Tennis Courts," is aimed at upgrading the courts to enable usage for tennis and pickleball, complying with LTA, SAPCA, and relevant British Standards. The tender is currently at the 'Tender' stage, with key deadlines including an enquiry period ending on 9th January 2026 and the submission deadline on 23rd January 2026. The procurement method used is open competition, with the contract value estimated to be £32,000 excluding VAT. Interested parties are expected to attend a mandatory pre-tender site visit before submitting their bids.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs, especially those within Hampshire, to showcase their expertise in refurbishing sports facilities. Businesses specialising in construction works, repair and maintenance services, or recreational services would find this an excellent chance for growth. Companies with previous experience in similar projects, particularly for public authorities, parish councils, or sports clubs, will be well-suited to compete. The selection criteria will focus on quality, experience, risk management, and price under MEAT (Most Economically Advantageous Tender) methods, rather than just the lowest price. Attending the site visit and offering robust experience along with competitive pricing could distinguish a business from competitors, paving the way for potential long-term partnerships with local authorities.

Tennis & Pickleball Court Refurbishment This project comprises the refurbishment and upgrade of two existing outdoor tennis courts to provide a high-quality, durable playing surface suitable for tennis and pickleball use. All works shall be carried out in accordance with LTA, SAPCA and relevant British Standards, and in line with manufacturer recommendations and industry best practice.

Risk assessments and method statements shall be submitted prior to commencement. Working hours, access arrangements and site security shall be agreed with the Parish Council. Adjacent surfaces, fencing, landscaping and drainage systems shall be adequately protected throughout the works, and the site maintained in a safe and tidy condition at all times. Existing Surface Preparation The existing court surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned, treated for algae and weeds using approved methods, and rinsed to remove residues. Drainage improvements shall be undertaken by spiking the courts and backfilling with clean pea shingle. Existing tennis posts and sockets shall be removed and disposed of, along with any defective materials. Tree roots affecting or likely to affect the surface shall be removed and root barriers installed where required.

A bitumen emulsion tack coat shall be applied to the existing surface prior to laying a 6mm open textured macadam wear course to the specified thickness. The surface shall be laid, jointed and rolled to achieve a smooth, even finish suitable for court coating. Acrylic Coating System An acrylic primer shall be applied to the prepared macadam, followed by acrylic resurfacer and/or texture layers as required. Two coats of UV-stable acrylic colour coating shall then be applied in colours selected by the Parish Council, providing a durable, slip-resistant playing surface compliant with relevant standards. Line Marking Temporary aerosol markings shall be applied for two tennis courts and one pickleball court. Permanent LTA-compliant tennis court line markings shall be applied using non-slip acrylic paint. Pickleball line markings on one court shall be identified and priced separately.

Performance checks shall be undertaken to confirm surface regularity, ball bounce and slip resistance, with a report provided.
