## Summary

Newcastle City Council is procuring construction works for a new sports facility at the derelict former Chevyside Middle School site off Yetholm Place in Newcastle upon Tyne. The project comprises two new playing fields: one full-sized adult football pitch and one youth-sized pitch. Both pitches must comply with Sport England and Football Association guidelines and Performance Quality Standards. The work is intended to create playing facilities on the former school site, including the associated construction required to deliver the fields. This is a single sports-facility construction requirement, classified under CPV 45212200. It will suit contractors experienced in delivering football pitches, playing fields and related sports infrastructure.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: Newcastle City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically. Enquiries were due by 18 September 2026 at 23:59, and offers were due by 23 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 2 November 2026 to 2 May 2030. The estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT (£480,000 including VAT). The council will evaluate offers on 60% price and 40% quality. Quality covers ability to deliver (20%), construction programme (10%), construction methodology and logistics plan (30%), meeting the employer’s requirements (30%), and social value, sustainability and climate (10%). Social value mandatory requirements are pass/fail.

This opportunity suits construction contractors with the technical capability and delivery capacity to build compliant adult and youth football pitches and manage a sports-site construction project through to completion. Relevant experience should include working to Sport England and Football Association guidance, Performance Quality Standards, and employer requirements. Bidders need to demonstrate a credible construction programme, practical construction methodology and logistics plan, and the ability to manage delivery at a former school site. The evaluation also rewards quality, social value, sustainability and climate considerations, while mandatory social value requirements must be passed. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable, making the requirement relevant to established regional groundworks, civil engineering, sports construction and specialist pitch contractors, including capable delivery partnerships.

## Notice

The proposed development comprises the construction of two new playing fields: one full sized adult football pitch and one youth pitch sized in accordance with Sport England / FA guidelines and Performance Quality Standards (PQS), on the derelict site of the former Chevyside Middle School, off Yetholm Place.
