Summary of the contracting process

ANGUSalive is exploring the potential development, operation and maintenance of a padel facility at Arbroath Sports Centre in Arbroath, Scotland. The work is categorised as sports and recreation services, with construction-related elements. The potential facility could include new padel courts and associated infrastructure, delivered as part of a wider leisure offering at the sports centre. The authority is seeking organisations able to propose practical development concepts and commercial approaches for the site. The scope may extend across the full lifecycle of the facility, from initial design and funding through construction, operation and ongoing maintenance. This is a single potential development opportunity focused on creating and managing padel provision for users of Arbroath Sports Centre.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is an early market engagement exercise, rather than an invitation to tender or a call for competition. ANGUSalive is seeking views on development concepts, commercial models and delivery approaches to help shape any future procurement strategy. The buyer expects a subsequent notice to be published on 1 October 2026. The potential arrangement may be a concession or a similar commercial model, with suppliers potentially responsible for design, funding, construction, operation and maintenance. Organisations responding to the engagement are expected to submit proposals describing their potential development and commercial approach. Participation in this exercise will not itself create a contract or commit ANGUSalive to proceeding with a procurement.

The engagement will suit padel developers, leisure operators, sports facility specialists, construction and development businesses, infrastructure investors, and partnerships combining these capabilities. Organisations with experience of designing and delivering sports facilities could contribute development concepts and advise on practical construction and operating models. Leisure operators may be well placed to explain how a padel facility could be managed, maintained and integrated into an existing sports centre. Funders, investors and developers may be relevant where the eventual model involves private finance, commercial risk or a concession. Businesses should prepare evidence of comparable facility development or operation, whole-life maintenance capability, funding capacity and experience of forming workable commercial arrangements with public-sector or leisure-sector partners.
