## Summary

Southend-on-Sea City Council has issued an updated tender for the provision of Sports and Fine Turf Materials, Equipment and Sundries, under an active procurement stage. This tender, classified under the horticultural and nursery products industry (CPV code 03120000), seeks suppliers to deliver various sports pitch materials and top dressings. The contract is set for a term of three years with a potential extension of up to two additional years, subject to the Council's discretion based on quality, pricing, funding, and performance. Key deadlines include the tender submission end date on 8th October 2024 at 12:00 PM, followed by the award period starting from 8th October 2024 at 12:05 PM. The delivery region for this procurement is UKH31 (Southend-on-Sea).

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the agricultural and horticultural sectors, such as suppliers of top dressing, composts, feeds, fertilisers, herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, and irrigation equipment. Companies with expertise in supplying sporting materials and related equipment will find this an excellent opportunity to enhance their business footprint. The procurement method is open, allowing suppliers to compete fairly for single or multiple lots without any requirement for variants. With distinct lots available, businesses can target their specific areas of expertise to maximise their chances of securing a contract and potentially look forward to a stable income stream over the contract duration.

## Notice

Southend-on-Sea City Council is looking to appoint a supplier or a number of suppliers to supply and deliver Sports pitch materials and top dressings for a period of 3 years, with the option of extending the contract for a further 2 years, or any part thereof. The extension will be at the discretion of the Council and be dependent upon on quality, pricing, funding available and contractor performance. As such the Council does not guarantee any level of income to either Contractor as part of this contract. Parks Operations Sports Materials will be split across different lots with suppliers being able to bid for single or multiple lots. The Contractor must deliver the required materials in the conditions and at the times detailed within this specification. Please note that we have advertised this previously 2024/S 000-010383 but that tender was abandoned, and this is the updated tender.
