The tender and construction phases of a project are crucial for successfully delivering a Field of Play. While SPORTENG focuses on designing exceptional sports fields, we also recognize the importance of supporting our clients during the tender process. This phase involves our clients liaising and negotiating with potential contractors to secure their preferred choice.
The tender process allows all stakeholders to elaborate on the design intent, ensuring accurate pricing and the selection of the best contractor for the project. Engaging in strong communication with tenderers are essential as it helps to clarify the scope of work and enables them to present the most competitive prices.
Quality assurance plays a pivotal role in the construction phase. Although SPORTENG does not engage in building, the importance of having an external third party review hold point documentation and conduct witness point inspections is emphasised. This oversight ensures that the design intent is strictly adhered to throughout the construction process.
SPORTENG’s tender and construction stage services extend our support to clients across the entire project lifecycle. These services provide peace of mind, ensuring that the contractor selection process and quality assurance align with the project’s objectives.
SPORTENG assists clients in addressing contractor questions about the design during the tender process and provides evaluation support when selecting a contractor. Once the contractor is chosen, we will remain involved by attending site visits throughout the project, focusing on critical work items for quality control and compliance with specifications.
By prioritising our design expertise while facilitating the tender and construction phases, SPORTENG ensures that every sports field project achieves the highest standards of quality and functionality.
During the tender phase, all tendering contractors must respond to the ‘Issue for Tender’ documentation the design consultant produces. This essential tender documentation should clearly define the scope of works required for the proposed facility development and contain drawings, technical specification and a bill of quantities.
As the project transitions from the tender to the construction phase, the contractor is required to sign a contract to commence the works. This contract is critical for project success which enables the client’s representative to effectively manage the delivery process of the contracted works.
While SPORTENG exclusively focuses on the design aspects of the sports field, we ensure that the construction phase aligns with the client’s vision. This guarantees that the final outcome adheres to the highest standard of quality and functionality.
SPORTENG’s tender and design services equip clients with extensive project experience, effectively mitigating risks associated with Field of Play projects. Our approach is supported by comprehensive preliminary design work, particularly in geotechnical and survey investigations. By gathering this critical information early on, SPORTENG can proactively address potential risks, ensuring smoother execution throughout the project lifecycle.
With our years of experience and current market insights, SPORTENG assists clients in the initial tender evaluation process for their sports field projects. During interviews with shortlisted contractors, our representatives ensure that they fully understand the project scope, associated risks, and quality assurance requirements. After the tender process, SPORTENG provides a detailed evaluation report to help you select the most suitable contractor for your Field of Play design.
SPORTENG specialises in supporting the design of your sports field projects during the construction phase through monitoring and contract supervision.
Our monitoring-focussed role during the construction phase is where SPORTENG works alongside the client’s representative to:
As contract superintendent, a senior member of our team manages project contracts on your behalf, ensuring all work aligns with the specific contract requirements.
SPORTENG can seamlessly fulfil either role or both, ensuring that the construction process adheres to the design documentation and meets your project’s objectives. Our speciality lies in designing the sports fields of tomorrow.
