The work covered five sports areas and included refurbishing and resurfacing the courts, installing or renewing fencing, improving drainage and upgrading sports equipment. This is a sports-facilities construction project, rather than a supply-only equipment contract. The requirement was for one supplier to deliver the works. The buyer is an educational trust based in Leicester, and the work was delivered at its academy. The scope combines outdoor-sports surfacing and construction with associated fencing, drainage and equipment improvements across a multi-area school site. The procurement is complete and was awarded to Blakedown Sport & Play Limited. The award date was 23 September 2026, at a value of £254,817.48. The contract period ran from 10 July to 21 August 2026. It used an open procedure, with a submission deadline of 9 July 2026. The tender was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement covered the five sports areas as a single procurement for one supplier; no separate lot awards are recorded. The published award identifies the successful supplier and the overall contract value. No further evaluation criteria are recorded in the supplied process information. For suppliers considering comparable work for Lionheart Educational Trust, this award demonstrates demand for coordinated refurbishment of school sports areas: court resurfacing, fencing, drainage and equipment upgrades delivered together across several areas. A credible competitor would need to manage the full package, coordinate construction and specialist sports-surface work, and complete delivery within a short programme while working at an educational site. The successful supplier, Blakedown Sport & Play Limited, shows that a sports and play contractor was selected for this requirement. The procurement was run as an open competition and was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms could be relevant where they can demonstrate the capacity and delivery capability needed for a multi-area refurbishment. No particular accreditation or technical standard is identified in the available award information. ## Notice Lionheart Educational Trust requires one supplier to fulfil their Ball Courts Refurbishment requirement.
