Description
The contract was awarded via a direct award under the Artificial Grass Pitch (AGP) Framework, which provides a compliant procurement route for the delivery, refurbishment and maintenance of synthetic sports surfaces.

This procurement route was selected to ensure delivery by an accredited AGP framework supplier with proven technical capability, compliance with relevant performance standards, and ability to meet programme requirements. The call‑off contract covers the resurfacing of the existing full‑size 3G synthetic football pitch at Scarborough Sports Village to meet FIFA Quality Pro standards.
