Phase 1
The Board of Directors were assisted by a local resident Keith Bingham who heard of our plans and assisted in putting together a professional Tender Document pro bono for which we will always be grateful.
Following a competitive tender process, evaluation and scoring were carried out by BSA Directors with assistance from an independent observer from DfC, with the Contract being award to Tony Pattersons Sports Grounds.
