## Summary

Plymouth City Council has completed a public procurement process titled "Central Park Groundworks - Phase 3," focusing on infrastructure improvements within the works industry category. The project's primary goal was the installation of land drainage systems at Central Park Football Fields in Plymouth, including tasks such as soil removal and the importation of permeable soil. This procurement process was executed through a direct method, classified as below threshold without competition, with the main contract awarded to WBM Groundworks Ltd. The contract, active from 24th June to 30th September 2025, operates under a NEC Engineering and Construction Contract Option E model, allowing for potential adjustments in contract value based on incurred costs and defined compensation events.

The tender presents substantial opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in ground-drainage and earthmoving work, as reflected in the work scope of the awarded contract. Additionally, SMEs like WBM Groundworks Ltd, who are agile in adapting to changing project requirements under a cost-reimbursable contract model, are well-suited to compete in similar future procurements. Firms specialising in niche construction and groundwork services looking to expand their portfolio in sub-central government projects in the United Kingdom may find such opportunities particularly appealing, given the specific needs and procurement approach of Plymouth City Council.
