Summary of the contracting process

Mere Town Council commissioned works to improve an existing multi-use games area (MUGA), a community sports and recreation facility in Mere. The project is intended to improve the facility’s quality, durability, accessibility and flexibility while continuing to meet local recreational needs. The work falls within construction services and covers the completed single-lot requirement awarded under this procurement. The buyer is Mere Town Council, based at Duchy Manor, Springfield Road, Mere. The published delivery information covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West and the South West region. The requirement is therefore relevant to contractors delivering outdoor sports-facility improvement and associated construction work for local authorities.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Axo leisure Ltd, an SME. The award was made on 8 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 5 November 2026. Its value is £99,869 excluding VAT and £119,843 including VAT. The procurement used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method described as unknown. It comprised one lot, covering the MUGA improvement works. The contract requires the supplier to commence on site, complete the surfacing and complete the fencing, with each performance measure recorded over a one-month period. The award is active and the contract is active; no cancellation or termination is reported.

This award indicates demand from Mere Town Council for specialist outdoor sports-facility improvement rather than general building work. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to plan and deliver a short, concentrated construction programme, including mobilisation to site, surfacing and fencing. Credibility would come from practical experience improving multi-use games areas or comparable community sports facilities, with the ability to enhance durability, accessibility and flexible recreational use within an existing site. Contractors should be able to coordinate physical works, manage interfaces between surfacing and fencing, and demonstrate reliable delivery against clear completion measures. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can suit a focused specialist contractor as well as a larger construction business. This buyer’s requirement may be relevant to firms monitoring future local-authority sports-facility improvements.
