Bolton Urban Cricket Centre

Description

The Borough Council of Bolton ("the Authority") is seeking a suitably qualified supplier to develop and potentially deliver a five-lane recreational cricket dome at Ladybridge High School, together with associated landscaping and site works. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 ("the Act") using the Open Competitive Procedure. The facility is to be designed and installed in accordance with the ECB Covered Outdoor Cricket Facilities Design Guide. The detailed requirements and available site information are provided in the documents accompanying this Invitation to Tender. The Council is inviting tenders for the full potential project through RIBA Stages 1-6. Tenderers must submit proposals and separate prices for RIBA Stages 1-3 and RIBA Stages 4-6. The Council will assess tenders against the full scope, but will initially appoint the successful tenderer for RIBA Stages 1-3 only. The estimated total project value is anticipated to be below £1.5 million, inclusive of all project costs. This is an estimate of the potential overall project, not the value of the initial RIBA Stages 1-3 appointment. The Authority intends to make its award decision for Contract 1, RIBA Stages 1-3, on 11 November 2026, with the contract intended to commence on 23 November 2026.
