UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council procured remedial and sub-surface works to the astroturf at Castor Primary School. This is a works requirement focused on repairing and improving an existing artificial sports surface, rather than constructing a new school. The procurement is associated with primary school construction work under CPV 45214210. Delivery is linked to Castor Primary School in the Peterborough area, with Peterborough City Council acting as the buyer. The requirement will suit contractors specialising in sports surfaces, artificial grass pitches, ground preparation and associated remedial construction works. Businesses with experience working safely and effectively in or around primary-school sites are the most relevant potential competitors for comparable requirements from this council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 May 2026. Peterborough City Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. One completed lot was awarded to E.T.C. Sports Surfaces Limited, an SME. The award value was £97,569.60 excluding VAT, or £117,083.52 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 30 September 2026, with signature scheduled by 30 July 2026. The award is active and covers the remedial and sub-surface astroturf works at Castor Primary School. The outcome indicates that the council selected a specialist supplier through a direct route rather than evaluating competing bids under an open or restricted tender.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist sports-surface remediation and sub-surface construction at a primary school, delivered as a focused works package. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical capability in diagnosing and repairing artificial turf installations, preparing or reinstating sub-surfaces, and delivering durable sports-surface outcomes. Experience of coordinating construction activity around an operating education setting would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where access, safeguarding, site cleanliness and programme control matter. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement was deliverable by a focused specialist rather than only a major construction group. Relevant businesses should track this council’s future demand for school astroturf and sports-surface remedial works and maintain evidence of comparable completed projects.
