Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Council commissioned external works at Halewood Leisure Centre, within the North West. The requirement is environmental improvement and landscape construction work, covering large-scale landscape works, significant earthworks, work on contaminated land, urban regeneration, and associated hard and soft landscaping. It sits within the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Landscape Contractors, specifically the band for larger landscape projects. The procurement is categorised as works. The appointed supplier is a small and medium-sized enterprise, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Businesses with relevant construction, landscape delivery and site-management capabilities would recognise this as a substantial leisure-site improvement project rather than routine grounds maintenance.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through Knowsley Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Landscape Contractors, Lot 3, Band B, covering landscape works above £300,000. The tender submission deadline was 15 April 2026 at 12:00. Dunkil Developments Ltd was awarded the contract on 9 July 2026 for £2,986,117.90 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 26 July 2026 to 14 July 2027. The tender’s upper estimated value was £3,000,000. The published procurement method detail describes the route as “Other”. The award identifies one active supplier. The evaluation basis is the requirements and assessment approach set out for the dynamic purchasing system and its large-scale landscape contractor band.

For a supplier assessing future work from Knowsley Council, this award demonstrates demand for sizeable, complex landscape and external-works packages at public leisure facilities. A credible competitor would need the capacity to deliver major earthworks and coordinated hard and soft landscaping, together with experience of contaminated land and urban-regeneration environments. The requirement also points to the value of integrating construction, environmental improvement and landscape delivery rather than offering grounds maintenance alone. Strong site management, safe handling of challenging ground conditions, reliable programme control and the ability to manage multiple workstreams would be relevant capabilities. The route favours businesses already able to operate within a dynamic purchasing system for landscape contractors, while its stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller firms may compete where they can evidence the necessary specialist delivery capacity.
