A pre-market engagement exercise is planned, with a deadline for expressions of interest set for 22nd July 2026. The intended contract period for this project spans from 1st September 2026 to 22nd March 2027, providing a considerable timeline for project execution.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in particular, are encouraged to participate, given the project's adaptability and potential for collaborative growth. The focus on building a state-of-the-art sports facility opens opportunities for expertise in innovative sports technology and sustainable construction practices, ideal for firms seeking to expand their portfolio within the public sector. ## Notice NNC has a requirement for a comprehensive works design and build contract to undertake the full removal and replacement of the existing sports hall floor (594m2) to return the facility with a modern and compliant heated sports hall floor.
