Opportunity overview

Tennis & Pickleball Court Refurbishment This project comprises the refurbishment and upgrade of two existing outdoor tennis courts to provide a high-quality, durable playing surface suitable for tennis and pickleball use. All works shall be carried out in accordance with LTA, SAPCA and relevant British Standards, and in line with manufacturer recommendations and industry best practice. General Requirements The Contractor shall provide all labour, materials, plant, and supervision necessary to complete the works. Risk assessments and method statements shall be submitted prior to commencement. Working hours, access arrangements and site security shall be agreed with the Parish Council. Adjacent surfaces, fencing, landscaping and drainage systems shall be adequately protected throughout the works, and the site maintained in a safe and tidy condition at all times. Existing Surface Preparation The existing court surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned, treated for algae and weeds using approved methods, and rinsed to remove residues. Drainage improvements shall be undertaken by spiking the courts and backfilling with clean pea shingle. Existing tennis posts and sockets shall be removed and disposed of, along with any defective materials. Tree roots affecting or likely to affect the surface shall be removed and root barriers installed where required. Temporary removal and reinstatement of fencing shall be undertaken if needed to facilitate access. Kerbing, Repairs & Resurfacing New pre-cast concrete kerbs shall be installed around the court perimeter, set level with the finished surface. Localised excavations and repairs shall be carried out as required, infilled with base macadam and overlaid with a new surface course. A bitumen emulsion tack coat shall be applied to the existing surface prior to laying a 6mm open textured macadam wear course to the specified thickness. The surface shall be laid, jointed and rolled to achieve a smooth, even finish suitable for court coating. Acrylic Coating System An acrylic primer shall be applied to the prepared macadam, followed by acrylic resurfacer and/or texture layers as required. Two coats of UV-stable acrylic colour coating shall then be applied in colours selected by the Parish Council, providing a durable, slip-resistant playing surface compliant with relevant standards. Line Marking Temporary aerosol markings shall be applied for two tennis courts and one pickleball court. Permanent LTA-compliant tennis court line markings shall be applied using non-slip acrylic paint. Pickleball line markings on one court shall be identified and priced separately. Court Equipment New tennis posts, sockets, nets and centre straps shall be supplied and installed, including heavy-duty galvanised sockets set in concrete foundations and championship-quality nets. All equipment shall be installed correctly and ready for play. Completion & Handover The Contractor shall carry out a final clean and remove all waste from site. Performance checks shall be undertaken to confirm surface regularity, ball bounce and slip resistance, with a report provided. Maintenance guidance shall be issued, along with a separately identified cost for annual cleaning and moss prevention. A minimum 3-5 year warranty on workmanship and the coating system shall be provided. A mandatory pre-tender site visit is required.
