Summary of the contracting process

Hartford Parish Council is procuring works to secure the perimeter of a community allotment site in Hartford, near Northwich. The requirement is to supply and install 1.2-metre-high bow-top fencing, including two access gates. The completed boundary must be durable, safe and visually appropriate for an allotment environment. This is a fencing installation project, classified under CPV 45342000 for the erection of fencing. The buyer is Hartford Parish Council, which is responsible for the allotment requirement. The opportunity may suit contractors that undertake small public-sector fencing, boundary and access-gate projects, particularly those able to manage both supply and installation on a community site. The work is categorised as construction works rather than goods supply alone, so bidders should be prepared to deliver a complete installed solution.

The procurement has reached tender: Hartford Parish Council invited quotations through an open procedure. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 23 October 2026 at 12:00 BST. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £20,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The requirement is presented as a single fencing installation project covering the allotment perimeter and two gates. The published procurement information identifies the project as above-threshold under the buyer’s stated procedure details. Bids will need to address the specified fencing height, access arrangements and required standard of durability, safety and appearance. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits a fencing contractor or general works business able to survey or work from site information, supply bow-top fencing and install a complete perimeter boundary. Relevant capability includes setting out and erecting approximately allotment-scale fencing, fitting two access gates, and delivering a secure installation appropriate for regular community use. Suppliers should be able to coordinate materials, installation labour and site completion within the contract period, while taking account of safety and the appearance of the finished boundary. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller regional fencing installers and construction firms with the capacity to undertake a discrete public-sector works package. Businesses with experience of domestic, commercial, parks, grounds or community fencing may find the scope aligned with their normal delivery work.
