## Summary

Malvern Hills District Council commissioned consultancy for developing a 3G artificial grass pitch at the Upton Hill Centre. The work covers completing outstanding site surveys, finalising the feasibility report, preparing the design and specification for planning approval, managing the construction tender process, and providing project management during construction and after it. This is specialist sports-facility feasibility and design consultancy, with project and procurement management support. The delivery location is Upton Hill Centre in Malvern Hills District, England. The requirement brings together early-stage investigation and planning work with support through delivery, rather than simply producing a standalone design. Suppliers operating in sports facilities, artificial playing surfaces, feasibility studies or construction project consultancy would recognise the core services involved.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Malvern Hills District Council awarded the single lot to LABOSPORT LIMITED, and the contract was signed on 12 January 2026. The contract period runs from 26 January 2026 to 1 June 2028. The contract value is £42,816 excluding VAT (£51,379.20 including VAT). The council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The published procurement information does not state a scored evaluation basis or eligibility criteria; the award was made to one supplier. The services cover feasibility, design, tender management and project support for the Upton Hill Centre pitch, with delivery in the Malvern area.

This award shows that Malvern Hills District Council buys end-to-end consultancy for artificial grass pitch development, spanning surveys and feasibility through planning design, procurement and construction oversight. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need the technical ability to assess a sports site, develop a buildable specification suitable for planning approval, and coordinate a construction tender. Experience managing sports-facility projects through construction and post-construction would also be relevant, alongside the capacity to provide continuous support across those stages. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this contract, so suppliers should understand that this route was used for this particular purchase; the award does not establish an open competitive process or a guaranteed future opportunity.
