## Summary

Bolsover District Council, in partnership with North-East Derbyshire District Council, has completed the procurement process for the "Playing Pitch Strategy and Assessment" contract. This service-oriented tender, classified under business development consultancy services, aims to establish a new Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS) to inform the future provisioning and management of sports facilities within their regions. The contract was awarded to Knight Kavanagh & Page Ltd on 14th July 2025, with the award procedure classified as limited, following unsuccessful open and restricted procedures in late 2024 and early 2025. The councils located in the UKF12 region of the United Kingdom concluded the procurement with a direct award due to a lack of suitable tenders through previous attempts.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities for consultancy firms with expertise in strategic development and sports facility management. Companies experienced in delivering robust evidence-based service models for regional authorities would find this tender particularly beneficial. With a contract valued at £65,187, the process underscores the importance of establishing strategic partnerships with regional councils to tackle public sector projects. Such opportunities are ideal for large-scale firms capable of delivering comprehensive consultancy services tailored to local government needs in the United Kingdom.
