Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council procured works to design, supply and install Playzone facilities at West Lea in Bedlington. The requirement is construction and installation of a multi-purpose sports facility, covering the physical Playzone facilities and their design. The council is the public-sector buyer. Delivery is in Bedlington, Northumberland. The work was associated with the Football Foundation framework and was intended to provide a completed recreational sports facility for the West Lea site. This is relevant to contractors able to combine facility design with procurement, construction and installation, rather than suppliers offering only individual equipment, consultancy or general maintenance services.

This procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. Northumberland County Council used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition, through the Football Foundation framework. The procurement rationale states that Cleveland Land Services Ltd was the sole provider. One bid was recorded, and price was the award criterion. Cleveland Land Services Ltd was selected for the single Playzone requirement. The contract is valued at £271,408 including the published currency of GBP and was signed on 2 September 2025. The tender is recorded as complete, and the award is active. The requirement was treated as works and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award is relevant to specialist sports and recreational facility contractors that can take responsibility for design, supply and installation as one delivery package. A credible competitor for similar Northumberland County Council requirements would need practical construction capability, experience installing multi-purpose sports facilities and the capacity to manage site delivery through to completion. Familiarity with the Football Foundation framework or an equivalent approved procurement route would also be important, since the council relied on that framework and identified a sole provider. The outcome shows that the buyer accepts a focused, integrated delivery model and evaluates competing offers primarily on price, so cost control and reliable installation planning would be central to future competition.
