Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council procured recreation installation works at Coronation Fields in Hemel Hempstead. The requirement was to install a multi-use games area and cricket nets, creating facilities for multiple sports and cricket practice. The work falls within recreation facility installation and is categorised as works. Delivery was at Coronation Fields, Hemel Hempstead. This is a site-based construction and installation requirement for a public outdoor sports facility, rather than the supply of standalone equipment. Businesses relevant to this requirement include contractors able to deliver multi-use games areas and cricket nets as an integrated installation, including the associated site works and practical completion of the facilities for community use.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Dacorum Borough Council used a limited award procedure without publishing a prior call for competition, awarding through Framework 115_25. Price was the stated award criterion, and five bids were recorded for the lot. HAGS SMP Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 for £218,000 GBP. The process used a framework agreement and was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The tender record marks the lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the procurement outcome is therefore an active award to HAGS SMP Limited. No separate contract duration is stated in the available procurement details.

This award provides a clear example of the council’s demand for combined outdoor sports facility installation at a public park in Hemel Hempstead. Competitors seeking comparable council work would need to demonstrate the practical capability to deliver both multi-use games areas and cricket nets as one coordinated project, including managing installation at an operational public recreation site. The evaluation was based on price, so credible suppliers would need a cost-controlled delivery model and the capacity to submit a competitive, clearly evidenced price. The route to market was a framework award without a prior open competition, making framework access and the ability to respond to such call-offs commercially relevant. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a major national contractor.
