## Summary

Worthing Borough Council procured works to replace the 3G synthetic grass carpet on pitches 1 and 2 at Worthing Leisure Centre. The requirement covers sports-facility construction works, specifically removal and replacement of the playing surface across two artificial football pitches. Delivery is at Worthing Leisure Centre in Worthing, West Sussex. The council is the public-sector buyer for the project. The selected contractor, ETC Sports Surfaces Limited, is a small and medium-sized enterprise specialising in sports surfaces. This requirement is relevant to contractors with practical experience in artificial sports-pitch surfacing, groundwork and associated construction activities, particularly those able to work within an operational leisure-centre environment and coordinate delivery across multiple pitches.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was used, with two bids received and both reaching the final stage; both final-stage bidders were SMEs. The award was made to ETC Sports Surfaces Limited on 19 June 2026. The awarded value is £98,130 excluding VAT, or £117,756 including VAT. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 16 October 2026. The evaluation basis is not stated in the available procurement details. The contract covers construction work for sports facilities, classified under CPV 45212200. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 11 September 2026. The awarded process was below the relevant threshold.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Worthing Borough Council for specialist replacement of 3G synthetic sports surfaces at a leisure facility. Competitors seeking similar work for this buyer would need demonstrable capability in artificial-turf replacement, sports-pitch construction and managing the associated preparation, installation and finishing activities. Experience delivering comparable leisure, football or other sports-facility projects would help establish credibility, particularly where work involves more than one pitch and must be coordinated within a live public facility. The two final-stage bids were both from SMEs, indicating that the requirement was accessible to businesses of that scale. A credible supplier would also need sufficient workforce, equipment, materials and project management capacity to complete a focused multi-pitch surface replacement to the required standard.
