Purpose

This report outlines the approach to delivering a
programme of capital improvement across Croydon’s outdoor
tennis facilities, specifically the procurement process undertaken
to contract the works.
 
The works have largely been funded through a grant
from the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) Parks Investment Fund with a
small contribution of £54,300 made by the Council in the case
of three courts which were not eligible for the grant
scheme.
 
The LTA managed the procurement of the two framework
contracts required (for court surface improvement and access
control respectively) and Croydon Council is drawing on this
process to award the contracts directly to these two suppliers and
deliver the programme.
