## Summary

Porthcawl Town Council is seeking a contractor to maintain and renovate the bowling green at Griffin Park, New Road, Porthcawl. The services cover end-of-season renovation, winter maintenance, preparation before the season and maintenance during the season, to keep the turf healthy, disease-free and well aerated and provide a good playing surface. The green is approximately 40 metres by 40 metres, with six rinks. Its condition is generally average to good, with some moss; the edges need reseeding and dressing to repair bare patches. This is sports turf and grounds maintenance work, classified as horticultural services.

The Council invited quotations through an open competition. The procurement is divided into one lot, and small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable. The deadline for questions was 5 October 2026 at 12:00, and the bid deadline was 8 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 16 October 2026 to 15 October 2027. The estimated value is £70,000 excluding VAT, or £84,000 including VAT. Evaluation gives equal weighting to project cost and project delivery, with delivery assessed on the approach to quality. The buyer set the procurement under the below-threshold open competition route.

This opportunity suits sports turf contractors with demonstrable experience maintaining bowling greens or comparable fine sports turf. Contractors need suitably qualified and competent staff, as well as the equipment and materials to carry out renovation and maintenance across the full contract cycle, from autumn work and winter care through pre-season preparation and in-season upkeep. The work involves addressing existing moss and repairing bare edges as well as maintaining the playing surface. Any chemical products or treatments must be appropriate for their intended use and applied in line with current legislation, manufacturers’ instructions and relevant health and safety requirements. The stated suitability for SMEs indicates that smaller specialist grounds-maintenance businesses may be well placed to compete.
