The requirement covers repair and maintenance associated with sports facilities, including flatwork for running tracks and repair work on sports fields. This is a construction and specialist sports-surface project rather than a supply-only contract. The successful contractor will carry out the works at the stadium, serving the council’s local sports infrastructure needs. The procurement is being bought and managed by Stevenage Borough Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is suitable for contractors with experience in athletics-track refurbishment, running-track construction or repair, sports-facility maintenance, and associated sports-field works. The process has reached tender: Stevenage Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The deadline for tender returns is 5 October 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period is from 13 November 2026 to 30 April 2027. The estimated value is £500,000 excluding VAT and £600,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation uses pass/fail requirements, followed by 70% price and 30% quality. Bids may be submitted electronically through the council’s e-tendering system. Organisations must express an interest and opt in to access the tender documents. A site visit is mandatory for bidders. Clarification questions must be submitted through the procurement website before the clarification deadline set in the tender information. This opportunity suits a specialist civil engineering, sports-surface or athletics-track contractor able to refurbish running tracks and undertake associated sports-field and sports-facility repairs. Bidders should have the practical capability, equipment and suitably skilled workforce to deliver construction works in an operational stadium environment, and the organisational capacity to complete the project within the specified delivery window. A mandatory site visit means suppliers must assess the existing track and site conditions before bidding, making direct understanding of the works important. The quality element of the evaluation gives contractors an opportunity to demonstrate their proposed approach, delivery arrangements and technical competence alongside their price. Firms that regularly deliver athletics, sports-ground or comparable specialist hardstanding projects are likely to be best placed to compete. ## Notice Stevenage Borough Council are currently seeking tenders for the provision of ATHLETICS TRACK REFURBISHMENT WORKS AT RIDLINS STADIUM, STEVENAGE This procurement is a below threshold advertised tender .
