## Summary

The Football Foundation is proposing a soft market testing exercise titled "Parks Improvement Programme," focusing on building construction work in Great Britain. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the goal of establishing interest from potential contractors for refurbishing tennis courts in local authority parks, supported by grant funding from the Department for Culture, Sport and Media and the LTA Tennis Foundation. Interested participants must complete a questionnaire by 17:00 on 26th April 2021 to register their interest in this initiative.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and related services, particularly those experienced in sports facility development and park refurbishments. Companies looking to expand their portfolio through publicly funded projects would find this an ideal opportunity, given the substantial estimated budget of £27 million. Local construction firms and contractors with a history of delivering projects in public recreational spaces would be particularly well-suited to compete in this forthcoming procurement process.
