Summary of the contracting process

Hayward Architects Limited is seeking construction works for Carlton Parish Church. The project is the removal of the existing church boundary retaining wall and pier, followed by construction of a new retaining wall and pier. The new work is expected to use the existing bricks and capping stones wherever possible; cleaned materials will be stored for reuse. The retained soil will be battered back at 45 degrees. An Austrian pine tree will be removed before construction, while volunteers will take down the existing wall to ground level. The gate pillar may remain for the contractor to remove. The works also include activity in the highway and footpath widening at Carlton Parish Church.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers by limited competitive quotation below the public procurement threshold. The stated contract value is £20,000. Bids were due by 25 September 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is 25 January 2027 to 22 February 2027. The requirement is classified as construction work, with associated architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. Supporting tender information includes a proposed wall relocation, structural calculations, footpath widening layout, wall foundation details, foundation information concerning tree rings, and a structural assessment of the existing wall. The tender is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits a small construction contractor experienced in retaining walls, masonry and foundation work, particularly one able to work around an existing church boundary and reuse cleaned bricks and capping stones. Relevant capability includes dismantling or completing the removal of a gate pillar, constructing the replacement wall and pier, managing battered retained soil, and working to structural calculations and foundation details. Contractors must be able to undertake work in the highway and comply with Leicestershire County Council regulations. The appointed team will therefore need the required highway licences and qualified operatives. Experience coordinating with volunteer preparatory works, protecting stored reclaimed materials and delivering footpath-related construction would also be relevant.
