Summary of the contracting process

Flintshire County Council is procuring works to replace the existing 2G all-weather synthetic football pitch at Hawarden High School with a new 3G pitch system using styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) infill. The scope also includes miscellaneous associated works: installing new fencing and creating a spectator area. This is a sports facilities construction project, covering both the pitch upgrade and supporting site works. Delivery is at Hawarden High School in Flintshire, Wales. The requirement is classified as sports facilities construction work. It will suit contractors able to manage synthetic sports-surface replacement alongside fencing and small-scale external works, including coordination of the complete installation for a school sports facility.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 2 October 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline set by the buyer was 9 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 3 December 2026 to 25 February 2027. The estimated value is £1.00 excluding VAT and £1.20 including VAT. There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on price at 60%, quality at 30% and social value at 10%. Electronic submission is allowed. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Bidders must use the electronic tendering arrangements and review the project documents and technical specifications provided for the competition.

This opportunity suits a construction contractor with practical experience delivering synthetic sports pitches, particularly 3G systems with SBR infill, and the site management capability to complete related fencing and spectator-area works. Relevant suppliers will need to coordinate several work packages at a school sports facility and deliver a finished, usable pitch alongside the associated external works. The evaluation gives the strongest weighting to price, while quality and social value together account for 40%, so bidders should be able to demonstrate a credible delivery approach and identify social value contributions. The published suitability indicates that smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are encouraged to compete. A supplier able to provide an integrated sports-facilities construction service is well placed.
