Summary of the contracting process

The South Kesteven District Council is inviting tenders for the project titled "SKDC-1629 Upgrade to Leisure Facilities", focusing on building construction work in the Grantham region, UKF30. The procurement, managed by Welland Procurement, entails upgrading leisure facilities, including selective refurbishments at Grantham Meres Leisure Centre, Bourne Leisure Centre, Stamford Leisure Pool, and South Kesteven Sports Stadium. Notable works include lighting and ceiling replacements, localised M&E reinstatements, and installation of new flooring with completion expected by September 2026. This open competition invites bids below the threshold with submissions due by 20th March 2026, and enquiries concluding on 12th March 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and refurbishment, particularly those with expertise in upgrading public leisure facilities. The contract's gross value is set at £600,000, encouraging participation from SMEs, supported by the focus on quality (40%), social value (10%), and price (50%). Given the structured timeline and the necessity for adherence to Building Regulations and British Standards, companies with comprehensive project management capabilities and a proven track record in similar projects would be well-suited to compete. The gradual on-site work schedule allows for strategic planning and resource management, potentially fostering long-term business growth through successful delivery.
