Summary of the contracting process

Cannock Chase District Council procured works to supply, install, test and commission a fully automatic pop-up irrigation system for 18. The scope covers irrigation for greens, approaches and tee groups, based on the supplied specification, bill of materials and drawings. The works include a pumping station, water storage tank, irrigation mainline, signal cable and computer-based control system, together with pipework and sprinklers for the greens, approaches and tees. The procurement is for irrigation equipment and construction works, including irrigation piping. Cannock Chase District Council is the buyer, with Staffordshire County Council running the procurement. Delivery is in the Staffordshire area. The contractor is also responsible for designing specific elements where necessary, such as valve assemblies, the pump station and tank arrangement.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It used a below-threshold open competition. Four bids were received, all four from SMEs. Quality and price each carried 50% of the evaluation weighting. The tender deadline was 14 May 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 8 May 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to IRRIGATION CONTROL LIMITED on 30 June 2026 for £488,167.09 excluding VAT (£585,800.51 including VAT). The award period was 1 August 2026 to 27 February 2027. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and its recorded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 27 February 2027. The procurement was below the relevant threshold.

This award shows demand from Cannock Chase District Council for a specialist irrigation contractor able to deliver a complete installation rather than supply equipment alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in automated irrigation systems, pumping stations, water storage, buried mainlines, signal cabling and computer-based control. Experience designing and taking responsibility for valve assemblies, pump and tank arrangements would be relevant, alongside the ability to install pipework and sprinklers across greens, approaches and tee groups. The requirement also favours a contractor able to inspect the site, work from detailed technical documents, identify design responsibilities, test and commission the completed system, and enter into a formal written contract. The successful competition attracted SME bidders, indicating that this scale and delivery model is accessible to established specialist firms.
