The procurement process is at the tender stage, with a budget of £150,000 GBP. This project falls under the construction work for sports facilities and aims to repurpose an area previously used as grass tennis courts. The council has submitted a Full Planning Application and anticipates no substantial issues. The tender period ends on 1st November 2024, with the contract anticipated to start on 29th November 2024 and conclude by 29th November 2025. The procurement method is an open procedure below the threshold, encouraging submissions from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for companies specialising in sports facility construction, design, and landscaping. The project offers potential contracts for businesses supplying and installing sports equipment, fencing, and tarmac pathways. Additionally, firms with expertise in lighting installation may benefit from future phases of this project. Businesses with experience in meeting council planning requirements will also find this tender advantageous, as ongoing compliance and potential adjustments based on planning conditions are expected. The emphasis on inviting SMEs means that smaller firms with relevant experience will have a competitive chance to showcase their capabilities and secure valuable public sector contracts. ## Notice Cottenham Parish Council (The Employer) is seeking a suitably qualified company to design and construct a new Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) at Cottenham Recreation Ground. The recreation ground is a large open space which offers a variety of sports provision, used primarily by the Cricket Club, Cottenham United Football Club and general recreational use by the local community. A Full Planning Application has been submitted, in late August 2024, to South Cambridgeshire District Council with initial indications by the local authority that there should be no foreseen issues or conditions on the application. However, if required the Council will seek support and information by the preferred contractor to address any relevant conditions that may form part of the permission. The site was previously used as two Grass Tennis Courts, however, is no longer fit for that purpose and is not for any public use. The design will largely be dictated by the space available, and the mature trees that sit to the western side of the proposed facility, and sports pavilion and proposed cricket nets to the northwest. The planned size of the MUGA will be 30.0 metres x 20.0 metres of playing surface, with 3.0-metre-high meshed fencing. Additionally, a tarmac path will be designed into the northern side of the MUGA and connect to the existing temporary road, however design input should be offered by suppliers in the tender response. Sports Lighting will not be part of the initial stage; however, suppliers should provide a quote for lighting to be installed at a later date with all the necessary requirements including ducting, power, feeder pillar and a push button control, with a hinged column system to simplify maintenance. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2194fea9-8a94-4b67-9244-136087b376e3 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 1 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Nov 2024 - 29 Nov 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | COTTENHAM PARISH COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB24 8TA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | South Cambridgeshire | | Electoral ward | Cottenham | | Westminster constituency | Ely and East Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45212200 - Construction work for sports facilities - 45212220 - Multi-purpose sports facilities construction work ## Release History - 13 Sep 2024 at 14:48 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2194fea9-8a94-4b67-9244-136087b376e3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2194fea9-8a94-4b67-9244-136087b376e3 13th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9f2386a1-837a-40c7-a761-efafa149ce90 Form of Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3ed5b5b2-3e07-4841-927e-5591c6bd5574 Warranty and Reference Information - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ca0433ab-9d41-4db6-8403-6a273e79c380 Building Agreement Draft Version - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/29635d6d-f546-4561-abb4-943365c7da38 Specification Sheet - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/66cf78d6-231d-4b20-9d7c-7a8524af4819 Main Tender Document ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
