Blackpool Council is looking to appoint a Supplier for the delivery of 2 x 7-a-side 3G Football Pitches, 1 x Multi Use Games Area, 2 x Padel Courts and associated landscaping. The site is adjacent to Blackpool Football Club, off Seasiders Way, Blackpool. The scheme is at RIBA Stage 3, and Blackpool Council will engage a Lead Consultant who will continue to be employed by Blackpool Council throughout the duration of the works through to completion. A planning application was submitted in April 2026, and a decision is due to be confirmed at the beginning of September 2026. The Contracting Authority wishes to appoint a Supplier who can clearly demonstrate the ability to meet our requirements and who offers the most advantageous tender. Stage 1 - Request to Participate (RtP) The first stage of this Procurement Procedure requires that you complete a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ). The PSQ is designed to capture core information and provide the Contracting Authority with sufficient information to select (short-list) a suitable number of capable Suppliers who will be invited to proceed to the next stage of the Procurement Procedure. Only Requests to Participate which satisfy all conditions of participation will be eligible for consideration to be invited to the next stage of the Procurement Procedure. In line with Regulation 85 subsection 3 of the Procurement Act 2023 this below threshold works tender is being conducted under a two-stage process.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Construction work of leisure facilities (45212100); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 45 | 9,223 | 4 median · 24.8 average (2,113 of 9,223 with a bid count) | 3.7 average (2,322 of 9,223 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 6 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKD42 | 17 | 4 median · 6.5 average (11 of 17 with a bid count) | 1.6 average (11 of 17 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 1,131 | 7.5 median · 7.2 average (6 of 1,131 with a bid count) | 2.4 average (7 of 1,131 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
