## Summary

North Ayrshire Council has completed a public procurement process for the "Maintenance of All-Weather Pitches" project. The project is categorised under the services industry, specifically focusing on general public services. It involves the cyclical inspection and maintenance of all-weather pitches mainly located within or near school grounds in the region UKM93. This procurement, finalised on 31st March 2025, utilised a limited procurement method, conducted as a direct award through the Scotland Excel Outdoor Play and Sports Facilities Framework, Lot 10 – Maintenance. This direct award process was selected due to specific rationales pertinent to the procurement. The awarded contract is valued at £55,000.

The maintenance contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in sports facility upkeep and maintenance. Companies with expertise in managing all-weather sports pitches can benefit from such contracts, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Sportex Group, who was awarded this contract. This opportunity allows businesses to showcase their expertise in maintaining facilities that are essential for community use and school activities, thereby fortifying their presence and reputation in the public sector. SME participation is encouraged as evidenced by the successful bid from Sportex Group, highlighting the potential for growth through direct procurement avenues within local authority projects.
