This Framework Agreement (SE369) (OJEU 2011/S 61-098634) has
been developed to undertake the design and construction of new and
to be refurbished artificial grass pitches, multi use games areas
and other artificial outdoor sports surfaces in locations across
England.
There may be several different sports played at each location
and the scope of the projects includes various sizes of pitch to
permit competition, plus various pitch markings. Pitch types
include AGP’s, MUGA’s, Tennis and Netball courts, athletics tracks,
infields and training areas.
The requirements for new installations will include visiting
sites, surveying sites for condition and suitability, preparing
feasibility reports including outline design proposals, consulting
with local Planning & Building Control departments, preparation
and submission of necessary Planning and Building Control
applications, developing detailed design solutions for pitches,
fencing, access, and drainage; developing a cost plan, and
delivering works to completion including commissioning, provision
of operating manuals, and handover to client.
The Framework Contractors shall satisfy themselves that there is
capacity to extend all existing services networks including
drainage and electrical supply by consulting the local utilities
supplier.
The Framework Contractors are expected to have a thorough
knowledge of the Sport England guidance “Selecting the Right
Artificial Surface”.
Generally the standards required shall comply with all relevant
Sport England Design Guidance Notes, the requirements of relevant
Sport Governing Bodies, Building Regulations, British and European
Standard Specifications and Codes of Practice. It is anticipated
that each project will be largely based on these standard
specifications and designs adapted where appropriate to suit the
site or local issues relevant to a specific project.
It should be noted that where the project’s design proposals
require a planning application to be made, it is for the selected
Framework Contractor to prepare the drawings and other information
and make the application on behalf of the applicant. The Framework
Contractor will be expected to assist the participating
organisation in their community consultation processes to assist
the Planning process.
The Framework Contractors may have other Contractors working at
the site at the same time as the delivery of their works and may be
expected to act as Principal Contractor for all works on the site,
for example sports lighting.
The Framework Contractors can also provide various levels of
maintenance regimes once completion has been achieved.
The Framework Agreement was tendered and Awarded on coverage
across England. The 6 successful Framework Contractors are as
