Summary of the contracting process

Higham Ferrers Town Council is seeking a contractor to remodel its skateboard park in Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire. The works include supplying materials, carrying out the construction and managing the project through to recommissioning. The specified changes are to extend the concrete landing area at one end by 1 metre and build out the bank to create a 1-metre plateau with a gentler slope down to ground level. This is construction work for a leisure and sports facility, including playground and skatepark infrastructure. The delivery location is identified by postcode NN10 8EF, in Higham Ferrers.

The council invited offers through an open, below-threshold procedure. The stated tender deadline was 6 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period runs from 25 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated contract value is £20,000–£25,000. Electronic submissions are preferred and are to be sent by email with the specified project subject line. The procurement is presented as a single package of works, with no separate lots described. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable. No enquiry deadline or evaluation criteria are set out in the available procurement details.

This opportunity is suited to construction contractors able to deliver small-scale concrete and skatepark remodelling works, including shaping and constructing a bank, plateau and gentler transition to ground level. The successful contractor must provide the materials, manage the construction work and complete the project through recommissioning, so bidders should be able to coordinate the full works rather than supply materials alone. The defined scope and SME suitability make it relevant to smaller firms with the practical construction capacity to undertake a local leisure-facility project. Suppliers with experience in concrete construction, skatepark features or comparable recreational infrastructure may find their expertise relevant. The tender description does not set out specific accreditation or prior-experience requirements.
