Summary of the contracting process

Stoke-on-Trent City Council sought repair and replacement works for the Main Arena at Fenton Manor Sports Complex in Stoke-on-Trent. The requirement was to remove the existing Granflex sports flooring and install a fully compliant multi-sport indoor arena floor. The scope included specialist Gymnova equipment plates for British Gymnastics use and court markings compliant with National Governing Body requirements. This is a specialist sports flooring and indoor arena refurbishment project, classified as repair and maintenance services. The work was intended for the main arena rather than a general building, road or external sports facility. It would suit contractors able to deliver complete sports flooring replacement and associated specialist installation works.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited tenders through a below-threshold open competition. The tender closing date was 24 July 2026 at 14:00. Electronic submission was allowed. There was one lot covering the full arena floor repair works, with an estimated value of £80,000 excluding VAT and £96,000 including VAT. The planned contract period ran from 9 August 2026 to 28 August 2026. Evaluation was based on 60% commercial price, 35% technical and quality requirements, and 5% social value. The lot and tender are recorded as complete, and the award was cancelled. The procurement termination was recorded on 26 August 2026; no reason for cancellation is stated.

This opportunity suits an experienced specialist contractor able to manage the complete replacement of indoor sports flooring in a multi-sport arena. Relevant capability includes removing existing Granflex flooring, preparing the arena, installing a compliant replacement surface, and coordinating associated specialist equipment plates and court markings. Suppliers would need to understand the requirements of British Gymnastics and other National Governing Bodies, including the standards that apply to court layouts and markings. The work is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Strong technical delivery, quality assurance and sports-facility experience would be important because technical and quality considerations formed a substantial part of the evaluation, alongside price and social value.
