Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Bristol City Council, involves planning and constructing two Playzone Sports Facilities in Bristol, categorised under construction work. Taking place in the region defined by the UKK11 classification, this tender progressed to the award stage, with the contract being signed on 3rd June 2026. The procurement method used was limited, due to technical reasons, allowing Bristol City Council to directly award the contract without prior publication, aligning with the specific requirements of their grant agreement from the Football Foundation. McArdle Sport-Tec Ltd was the selected supplier, receiving the contract valued at £25,308, with potential options for a value extension should planning be approved.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for construction companies and suppliers involved in building sports facilities. SMEs like McArdle Sport-Tec Ltd, particularly those capable of delivering specialised construction services for sports amenities, would find such contracts beneficial. Additionally, by leveraging frameworks such as the Football Foundation Playzone Framework, businesses can establish a foothold in public sector procurement and expand their portfolios in similar regional projects.
