Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured works to resurface, repaint and bind two tennis courts at Eastville Park in Bristol. The requirement falls within construction work and is a small, site-based outdoor sports facility project. Delivery is in Bristol for the council as buyer. The work concerns the courts themselves rather than wider park construction or general maintenance, so it is most relevant to contractors specialising in tennis-court renovation, sports surfacing, line marking, binding and associated outdoor construction services. Suppliers with experience delivering comparable recreational or community sports facilities for local authorities would have a closely matched service profile.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to FOSSE CONTRACTS LIMITED through a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 7 August 2026. The contract is valued at £44,390 excluding VAT and £53,268 including VAT. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 28 September 2026, with a maximum extension date of 31 July 2027. Renewal is permitted only to accommodate weather-related delays to site work and does not authorise additional funding. One completed lot covered the tennis-court works. The award is active and the contract is active.

This award provides a clear example of Bristol City Council buying specialist tennis-court renovation as a defined construction package rather than as part of a broad facilities contract. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical capability in sports-surface preparation, resurfacing, repainting and binding, together with the plant, labour and site management needed to complete two courts safely and to an appropriate recreational-sports standard. Experience working in public parks or other community settings would help demonstrate an understanding of access, site protection and stakeholder constraints. The council used a below-threshold limited competition, so suppliers targeting comparable local-authority work should be able to respond efficiently to focused competitions and evidence relevant completed projects.
