Summary of the contracting process

The St Helens Council has completed the awarding process for the Synthetic Pitch Maintenance Contract, a project designed to maintain sports fields within the region. The procurement process was structured as an open competition under the "Below threshold" category, focusing on services. Following the tender, the contract was awarded on 24th April 2026, with active implementation starting from 1st May 2026 and extending to 30th April 2027, with options for extension up to 2030. Technical Surfaces Limited, an SME based in Leicester, was selected as the supplier. The contract entails services categorised under CPV code 77320000, with the total contract value at £31,680 excluding VAT. The procurement phase culminated in an award in active status, signifying the readiness to execute the contract as per the defined period and terms.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the sports field maintenance services sector, particularly those that qualify as small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Firms capable of delivering quality maintenance for synthetic pitches stand to benefit from the exposure and potential for further opportunities created by the council's option to adjust contract scope during its validity. The open procurement method underscores St Helens Council’s commitment to fostering competition and inclusivity, enabling well-prepared SMEs like Technical Surfaces Limited to secure government contracts. Given the possible expansions or modifications to service delivery sites, suppliers with flexible operational capabilities and robust service offerings are well-positioned to capitalise on this and future opportunities.
