## Summary

St Helens Council, acting as the procuring body, has completed the open tender process for the "Bleak Hill Primary Playing Field Drainage" project, under the category of construction work. The project is located in St Helens, UK, a sub-central government entity. The tender concluded with the contract award on 27 August 2025 to DUNCAN ROSS LAND DRAINAGE LIMITED, with the contract period spanning the entirety of August 2025. This below-threshold open competition focused largely on works related to ground-drainage construction, with the legal framework referenced under UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender offers a significant business opportunity for companies specialising in construction and drainage services, particularly SMEs focused on ground-drainage operations. With a strong emphasis on price competitiveness, small to medium enterprises with expertise in similar works are well-positioned to benefit from such opportunities within local government projects. Additionally, organisations with proven efficiency and cost management skills could leverage such contracts to bolster their portfolios and grow their influence within the public works sector.

## Notice

Due to playing field being unusable for large parts of the year, a drainage consultant was commissioned to design a drainage improvement scheme. Place Services officers' used this to develop a specification and an advert was placed on The Chest on the 1st July 2025.
