Summary of the contracting process

Bedford Borough Council procured works to resurface a 3G artificial-turf sports pitch at Wixams, Bedford. The requirement covers construction work for sports facilities and repair and maintenance associated with sports facilities, with the aim of renewing an outdoor field-sports surface for continued use. This is a specialist sports-facility construction and maintenance opportunity rather than a supply-only purchase of sports equipment. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work is located in Wixams within Bedford Borough. The selected contractor was Holcim UK Limited, a large construction and materials business. Businesses considering similar requirements should therefore have a relevant capability in artificial sports-surface works, site delivery and the construction or maintenance of outdoor sports facilities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 1 July 2026 at 12:00, after enquiries closed on 24 June 2026 at 12:00. The estimated tender value was £330,000 excluding VAT, or £396,000 including VAT. There was one completed lot, evaluated on price and quality, with the full criteria set out in the invitation to tender. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and awarded to Holcim UK Limited. The contract value is £351,030.50 excluding VAT, or £421,236.60 including VAT. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. Electronic submission was allowed during the competition.

This award demonstrates Bedford Borough Council’s demand for specialist resurfacing and maintenance of 3G sports pitches at a substantial single-project scale. A credible future competitor would need practical experience delivering artificial-turf or comparable outdoor sports-surface renewals, including preparation, installation or resurfacing, repairs and quality control. It would also need the workforce, equipment and site-management capacity to complete time-limited works safely and coordinate with a public-sector client. Evidence of successfully completed sports-facility construction or maintenance projects would strengthen a future response, particularly where it shows consistent surface quality, durability and reliable delivery. Suppliers should be able to compete on both price and quality, and present a clear method for managing the works and meeting the council’s performance requirements.
