Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council commissioned external works at Bellsbank Primary School, Craiglea Crescent, Bellsbank, near Kilmarnock. The project upgraded and extended the school’s outdoor learning area, including hard and soft landscaping and installation of a 4G artificial sports pitch and extended playground. This is a construction and external works opportunity, covering sports-surface installation, playground development, landscaping and associated site works. The buying organisation was East Ayrshire Council, with the work delivered at the school site in Bellsbank, East Ayrshire. The requirement was treated as works rather than goods or services, and was managed as a single package. It would suit contractors able to deliver school-ground improvements and coordinate specialist artificial pitch and landscaping activities within a constrained education setting.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Three electronic bids were received. CY Turf was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 19 February 2024. The award date was 5 February 2024, and the submission deadline was 5 February 2024 at noon. The contract value is £121,304.82. The planned contract period was 60 days, with the works described as starting in early March 2024 and running to the end of April 2024, approximately eight weeks. Bids had to be submitted in English and remain valid for 90 days. Evaluation included financial standing: a Creditsafe credit score of at least 30 out of 100, with further checks possible for scores between 30 and 50. Bidders also needed public and products liability insurance of £5 million and employers’ liability insurance of £10 million.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from East Ayrshire Council for combined school outdoor works rather than a standalone supply contract. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering artificial sports pitches, playground extensions, hard landscaping and soft landscaping as an integrated construction package. The requirement favours contractors able to manage site works safely around an operating school environment, coordinate specialist groundworks and sports-surface installation, and complete a compact programme without disrupting education activities. Financial resilience is important: bidders need to pass the council’s specified Creditsafe assessment and support the required insurance levels. The three electronic bids show that the council uses a competitive, digital open-procedure route for this type of work. Larger established contractors, or suitably resourced specialist firms working with reliable delivery partners, would be well placed.
