What is being bought

Published requirement description

Loddon Town Council is procuring a contractor to undertake the full refurbishment, resurfacing and associated maintenance works for two outdoor macadam tennis courts located at George Lane, Loddon. The contract is for works, consisting of preparation, repair, drainage improvements, resurfacing, installation of new equipment, and delivery of compliant court markings to Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) standards.

The contractor will supply all labour, tools, plant, equipment and materials required for surface cleaning, pressure washing, removal of moss and contaminants, removal of root intrusion and repair of the sub-base. New regulation-compliant tennis net posts and sockets must be supplied and installed.

The works also require application of appropriate bonding agents and installation of a 6mm open-textured macadam surface to a depth of 30-35mm. The contractor must work around existing site features including a shed and temporarily relocate the practice wall.

On completion of surfacing, the contractor must apply white line markings compliant with current LTA standards. The site must be left tidy and cleared of all waste.

Contractors must conduct a site visit prior to submission to understand access constraints. Deliverables include fully resurfaced courts, compliant line markings, and new posts and sockets.

The Council requires a detailed programme of works, method statement, risk assessment, cost breakdown, proof of insurance and relevant certifications, and references from similar projects.

The tender will be evaluated on price, experience, proposal quality, timeframe, and health and safety compliance.

The anticipated procurement timeline is: Submission deadline 31 March 2026, Award 30 April 2026, Expected start September 2026, Completion October 2026.

Loddon Town Council reserves the right to accept or reject any tender. This tender invitation does not constitute a binding contract.
