UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Borough Council is procuring construction works for a new community sports facilities development in the Revoe area of Blackpool. The scope comprises two seven-a-side 3G football pitches, one multi-use games area, two padel courts and associated landscaping. The site is next to Blackpool Football Club, off Seasiders Way, and the facilities are intended to provide community sports provision. This is a sports and leisure construction opportunity, covering specialist pitch and court construction together with external works and landscaping. The scheme is at RIBA Stage 3, with a Lead Consultant appointed by the council and retained through the works to completion. The relevant categories include leisure facilities, sports facilities and multi-purpose sports facility construction.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the council invited requests to participate through a two-stage below-threshold open competition. Suppliers first submit a Procurement Specific Questionnaire; those meeting all conditions of participation, scoring at least 60% on scored questions and ranking among the highest five are invited to submit a tender. The enquiry deadline is 1 September 2026 at 12:00, and the request-to-participate deadline is 7 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is allowed through the Chest. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 1 June 2028. Its estimated value is £4,000,000 excluding VAT, or £4,800,000 including VAT. Evaluation at stage one covers exclusion requirements and conditions of participation, with scored responses ranked accordingly.

This opportunity suits a construction supplier able to deliver a complete community sports development rather than an isolated supply package. Relevant capability includes constructing and coordinating two 3G football pitches, a multi-use games area, two padel courts and the associated landscaping and external works. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that they can meet the council’s stated requirements and pass the mandatory conditions of participation in the Procurement Specific Questionnaire. The process is designed to identify capable suppliers before the tender stage, so evidence of suitable technical and professional capacity will be important. Businesses with experience coordinating sports or leisure facility construction, managing works alongside a retained Lead Consultant and delivering projects through to completion are likely to be well placed.
