## Summary

The London Borough of Islington has concluded a procurement process for the replacement of a 3G football pitch at Whittington Park. This project, classified under the "Repair and Maintenance Services" category, was conducted using a restricted selective procedure, and aimed at providing a high-quality sporting surface compliant with FIFA Quality standards. The process, which began with the tender announcement on 30 June 2025, concluded with the contract award to Blakedown Landscapes (SE) Ltd on 20 August 2025. The project's key stages included removal and replacement of the synthetic turf and potential additional enhancements. The contract period ranged from 11 to 29 August 2025, providing location-specific services within the United Kingdom.

This tender creates significant business growth potential for companies specialising in sports facilities maintenance and development. The project particularly welcomes SMEs, offering them a chance to contribute innovations in synthetic pitch technology and aftercare services. Given the service-oriented nature of the project and a requirement that aligns with repairing and maintaining high-quality sports facilities, companies with expertise in these areas are ideally positioned to benefit. Engaging in such public procurement opportunities can enhance a business's portfolio and gain recognition within the industry, especially as this project meets stringent international standards such as the FIFA Quality mark.
