Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council, located in Grantham, is inviting tenders for the upgrade of local leisure facilities, including Grantham Meres Leisure Centre, Bourne Leisure Centre, Stamford Leisure Pool, and South Kesteven Sports Stadium. The tender involves building construction work and encompasses refurbishments such as lighting replacements and flooring installations. The contracting process is currently in the 'tender' stage, with the closing date for submissions on 20 March 2026 and enquiries ending on 12 March 2026. The project is set in the United Kingdom, region UKF1, and is managed by Welland Procurement, based in Melton Mowbray. The procurement method is open competition, under a below-threshold classification, with electronic submissions allowed.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies specialising in construction and refurbishment. With a budget of £500,000, the requirements for updating leisure facilities offer substantial work scope, potentially benefiting businesses in building and facility management sectors. The contract awards will be based on criteria valuing quality at 40%, social value at 10%, and price at 50%, making it suitable for SMEs that can deliver high-quality works within the specified timeframe. Businesses focused on sustainable building practices and energy-efficient solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete, as all works must comply with British Standards and current Building Regulations. Additionally, the option for a six-month renewal further enhances the prospect of long-term collaborations.
