The project, titled "Revoe Community Sports Facilities Development - Expression of Interest", aims to enhance sports infrastructure in a deprived area near Blackpool Football Club. The scope includes constructing two 7-a-side 3G football pitches, a Multi-Use Games Area, and Padel Courts, with plans for associated landscaping. The procurement method involves an open tender route with a fixed-price model for selecting a Principal Contractor based on completed designs. The planning application was submitted in April 2026, with an anticipated decision by July 2026. The expected contract award is in September 2026, and completion is targeted for Spring/Summer 2027. This initiative provides substantial opportunities for construction and landscape development companies, particularly those specialising in sports and leisure facility projects. With a projected budget of £4 million, the project presents a lucrative venture for businesses that deliver high-quality construction work within the sports facilities sector. Firms with experience in public-sector collaborations, especially those familiar with community-focused urban regeneration projects, stand to benefit significantly. Additionally, this tender offers a pathway for businesses aiming to establish or expand their presence in the North West region of the United Kingdom, by contributing to a project that supports healthier lifestyles and community engagement through enhanced sports amenities. ## Notice The Revoe district of Blackpool is situated to the south of Blackpool town centre. It comprises a mixture of residential and commercial units, surrounding Central Drive. Bloomfield Road, the home of Blackpool Football Club, is located on the southern periphery of the area. The area suffers from high levels of deprivation with people suffering from poor physical and mental health. The Revoe Community Sports Facilities will bring additional sports provision and regeneration to a deprived area of the town supporting healthier lifestyles and providing access to provision in the inner areas. The new sports pitches will be used to run local sports programmes being delivered by Blackpool Football Club Community Trust. Access to the pitches will also be made available to local community groups and schools for recreational sport and for the delivery of education programmes. Blackpool Council are looking to award an appointment for the delivery of 2 x 7-a-side 3G Football Pitches, 1 x Multi Use Games Area, 2 x Padel Courts and associated landscaping. The site is adjacent to Blackpool Football Club, off Seasiders Way, Blackpool. The scheme is at RIBA Stage 3, and Blackpool Council will engage a Lead Consultant who will continue to be employed by Blackpool Council throughout the duration of the works through to completion. A Planning Application for the development was submitted on 02 April 2026, with an expected decision early July 2026, Application Number 26/0178. This commission will follow an open tender procurement route, with fixed price submissions based on completed designs, for appointment of a Principal Contractor to carry out the delivery of the scheme. It is expected that the contract will be awarded September 2026 with completion in readiness for opening Spring/Summer 2027. ### Planning Information Full details of early engagement process can be found via the procurement portal the Chest: https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ Reference DN816476 This Expression of Interest ('EoI') seeks to provide information on Blackpool Council's plans to construct Community Sports Facilities in the Revoe area of the town.
