The construction works are part of the ongoing development of Cranbrook, a town that has grown significantly since its inception in 2011. The project is classified under the CPV codes 45000000 and 71000000, indicating construction work and associated architectural and engineering services. The tender process is currently at the "tenderAmendment" stage, with a tender period ending on 30th March 2025. The estimated contract value is £60,000 and the contract period runs from 30th April 2025 to 31st December 2025. This town planning and development project is managed through an open procurement method suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction, architectural design, engineering, and related services. It is a significant project for those looking to establish or expand their footprint in the public sector and community development domain in the South West of England. Small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises are encouraged to participate due to the suitability criteria outlined. Engaging in this project not only provides a platform for business growth but also contributes to the development of community infrastructure, enhancing company portfolios and experience in public sector tenders. ## Notice Cranbrook in East Devon is a town which is being developed on a former green field site from scratch. Construction works started in 2011 and the first residents moved in during the following year. By early 2025, the town had grown to approximately 9,000 residents occupying just under 3,500 properties. The current Local Plan which covers the period until 2031 makes provision for the delivery of circa 8,000 homes housing in the region of 25,000 residents - so Cranbrook will be at least a medium-sized town and probably the second-biggest settlement in East Devon. As part of the development, multi-use sports pitches were delivered in 2019 which are well-used, predominantly by youth teams. The site is complete with several football pitches, an eight-wicket cricket square and outfield, a multi-use games area (MUGA), a sports pavilion with four changing rooms and 90m2 social space, a 52-space car park with additional coach and bicycle parking. Cranbrook Town Council owns and manages the sports pitches and is now looking to commission the construction of a Local Equipped Area for Play (LEAP) at the site. The invitation to tender document sets out the parameters and the Town Council is now inviting tenders for the design and construction works to enable the above. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/85c51d4d-a485-4319-b1c2-795216de6a0f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Mar 2025 | | Submission deadline | 30 Mar 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Apr 2025 - 31 Dec 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | 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 | CRANBROOK TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | CRANBROOK | | Post town | Exeter | | Postcode | EX5 7DR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK43 Devon CC | | Local authority | East Devon | | Electoral ward | Cranbrook | | Westminster constituency | Exmouth and Exeter East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 4 Mar 2025 at 10:48 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/85c51d4d-a485-4319-b1c2-795216de6a0f - 25 Feb 2025 at 12:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/85c51d4d-a485-4319-b1c2-795216de6a0f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/85c51d4d-a485-4319-b1c2-795216de6a0f 4th March 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e6996044-8723-4545-a1aa-0f732a1523de Invitation to tender document, including evaluation criteria - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c46854ce-0b77-4314-b990-09d8ba82d279 Location plan - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e1b8680d-fff7-490e-8852-4710ce9ce2b0 Tender submission form - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0ba36b77-a569-4298-8342-c738bd978d9f Supplementary information in response to questions from prospective tenderers ## Notice URLs - https://www.cranbrooktowncouncil.gov.uk/our-community/ingrams-sports-pitches/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
