Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is seeking a contractor to assess, maintain and renovate its artificial sports surfaces. The work covers 11 council-owned sites, with an initial assessment followed by an annual maintenance programme and any renovation works identified by those assessments. The services are sports-field maintenance and renovation, delivered across the Newry, Mourne and Down District Council area. This is a single, district-wide requirement for the council’s 2G, 3G and polymeric sports surfaces.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 20 October 2026 at 12:00 and a submission deadline of 23 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 7 December 2026 to 6 December 2028. Its estimated value is £120,000 excluding VAT (£144,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 80% on price and 20% on quality, with the detailed criteria set out in the tender documents. Electronic submission was permitted.

The work is suited to suppliers able to assess and maintain artificial sports surfaces across several sites, then carry out the resurfacing or other renovation work those assessments identify. Contractors should be prepared to deliver a planned annual maintenance programme as well as responsive, site-specific renovation. The requirement spans 2G and 3G surfaces and polymeric sports surfaces, so experience across these surface types would be relevant. The council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This is a district-wide service engagement rather than a single-site job, requiring the practical capacity to coordinate assessments and maintenance across 11 locations.
