## Summary

The Willingham Parish Council has initiated an open tender for the "Willingham Multi Use Games Area Project," located in Willingham, UK. This project involves the construction of a fenced, all-weather tennis and netball court with floodlighting, aimed at enhancing public sports facilities using Section 106 contributions. The tender is in the active stage and is classified under construction work for sports facilities within the industry category. Key dates include an enquiry period ending on 14th August 2026, and tender submission deadline on 28th August 2026, with project commencement expected on 1st October 2026. The procurement process follows an open competition method, below the threshold, facilitating wide participation.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in sports facility construction, particularly those experienced in multi-purpose sports developments. It is well-suited for SMEs capable of delivering high-quality designs, technical execution, and competitive costings, as reflected in the award criteria. The project not only promises substantial revenue from a £200,000 budget but also offers a chance to contribute to community development in line with local strategic needs. Businesses in the UK regions, particularly those with a focus on durable sports infrastructure, are encouraged to participate to support the growing demand for year-round sports facilities in the area.

## Notice

In 2009 initial plans for a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) on Willingham recreation ground were drawn up by the Willingham Sports Council but shortly afterwards the Sports Council was disbanded and the plans shelved. When ring-fenced S106 money for public open spaces from the new developments became available, the Parish Council agreed that resurrecting the MUGA plans was a priority. The aim would be to provide a fenced all-weather surface with floodlights to allow year-round use. Following a public consultation in 2019 and various designs, surveys and planning applications since, the final agreed proposal was for the construction of a tennis and netball court with floodlighting together with a flood plain compensation scheme. This development is financed through the use of Section 106 contributions from recently developed new housing developments within the Willingham Parish. The use of this finance is consistent with the requirements for spending section 106 contributions towards the development and use of Public Open Space, which meets strategic local need for more floodlight training pitches for use all year round across the District and as defined in the Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Playing Pitch Strategy 2015-2031 for South Cambridgeshire and Cambridge City adopted in June 2016 which aims to provide a strategy which addresses the needs of the community and ensure that the right facilities are available to support the various sports played int the area. Planning Application Reference: 26/00382/FUL Planning Permission has been granted with reference to the above application number, with all associated documents provided on the Greater Cambridge Planning Portal. However, the key appendices have been included within the tender pack, which does form some conditions that the Principal Contractor will be responsible for submitting for approval prior to any Works commencing. Please review all the tender documents and submit a response electronically and hard copies by the due date and time.
