This project falls under the construction industry category (CPV 45000000) and is overseen by the Cranbrook Town Council. The awarded contract, valued at £170,000 GBP, will enable the development of a new recreational facility. The tendering process began with invitations published on 25 June 2024, completed with a tender submission deadline of 11 August 2024. The contract period spans from 1 October 2024 to 31 December 2024. The award notice confirms that PLAYINNOVATION LIMITED has been selected as the supplier on 23 September 2024, under an open procurement procedure (above threshold). This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction and related services, particularly those with experience in designing and building sports facilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were encouraged to participate, highlighting the council's commitment to inclusive procurement. The project's scope, which includes delivering a versatile athletic space, supports regional development goals and is well-suited for firms aiming to enhance their portfolios with public sector projects. Companies that specialize in multipurpose sports facilities and community-centric construction projects would find this contract notably beneficial for their business growth. ## 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 2024, 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. Cranbrook Town Council manages the sports pitches and is now looking to commission the construction of a multi-use games area (MUGA) at the site. This opportunity 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/9222b193-fa1d-4b39-93cd-e63801ff1f3d | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 11 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Sep 2024 | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2024 - 31 Dec 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £170,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £170,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | 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 | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PLAYINNOVATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 25 Feb 2025 at 10:49 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9222b193-fa1d-4b39-93cd-e63801ff1f3d - 26 Jul 2024 at 08:59 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/606dcbec-dcb1-4c95-afed-1c5a45d1c23f - 26 Jul 2024 at 08:54 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/606dcbec-dcb1-4c95-afed-1c5a45d1c23f - 25 Jun 2024 at 12:13 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/606dcbec-dcb1-4c95-afed-1c5a45d1c23f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9222b193-fa1d-4b39-93cd-e63801ff1f3d 25th February 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/606dcbec-dcb1-4c95-afed-1c5a45d1c23f 26th July 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/060530a2-dc3a-43d8-aa98-06b7fc030fba Invitation to tender document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b3c8d52f-c28f-4327-aed2-7c4d4d140187 Tender submission form - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9ee47b13-e794-443b-af75-00eccc98362b Location plan - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/718cbfd1-2cea-404d-b874-4da98295bd6c Sport England guidance - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/476f3bd5-1ece-4515-ad05-e744ce84343b Topsoil Analysis August 2017 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1d73214a-4087-4042-acd9-17ad33d81834 Topsoil Analysis October 2018 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/498a42e2-d902-4165-afde-fc269bc3b3e0 Original construction specification of sports pitches - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/012ed394-fa6d-4106-b24e-65f76f485404 Wider site plan ## Notice URLs - http://www.cranbrooktowncouncil.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
