## Summary

Fenland District Council procured construction of a PlayZone at Barton Road, Wisbech. This is a building construction project to create a community sports and play facility. The work is located in Wisbech, in the district of Fenland. The stated scope is construction of the PlayZone; no further facility components or technical specifications are described in the process information. The procurement was conducted under the Football Foundation framework Alliance Contract. The council is the buyer, and the selected supplier is a specialist sports construction company. The project is a single construction requirement rather than a set of separately described goods or services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Fenland District Council selected MCARDLE SPORT-TEC LIMITED. The award was made on 1 June 2026, for £363,601 including VAT. The contract period runs from 21 October to 31 December 2026. The process was below the relevant threshold and used the Football Foundation framework Alliance Contract; the specific procurement procedure is not identified. The project was organised as one lot. The published information gives no detailed eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing suppliers were assessed cannot be established from the available procurement details.

This award shows that Fenland District Council buys construction of local sports and play facilities through the Football Foundation framework Alliance Contract. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work for this buyer would need credible experience delivering construction projects for outdoor recreation or sports use, and the capacity to complete a defined site project within a short delivery period. Evidence of managing site works and coordinating construction through to handover would help establish suitability for this kind of requirement. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, indicating that a firm does not necessarily need to be a large contractor to deliver this scale of project. The procurement information does not state mandatory accreditations or specialist technical qualifications.
