Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council procured the design and installation of a replacement skate park at Queens Park, Windermere. The requirement is for a high-quality, in-situ concrete facility that is inclusive, durable and suitable for a wide range of users. This is a specialist recreational and sports facility project, classified under CPV 37400000 for sports goods and equipment. Delivery is at Queens Park in Windermere, within the council’s area in Cumbria. The work combines design responsibility with construction and installation, making it relevant to skatepark designers, specialist concrete skatepark contractors and businesses able to deliver a complete facility rather than supplying standalone sports equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 September 2026 following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Bendcrete Leisure Limited for £140,000. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 30 June 2027. The original quotation submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 13:00. Westmorland and Furness Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The successful supplier is responsible for the design and installation requirement. The award information records one active award and does not identify separate lots or additional award criteria. This is an outcome from a framework route, rather than an open competition for a new standalone tender.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist skatepark design and construction from Westmorland and Furness Council, with the full delivery combining inclusive design, durable in-situ concrete construction and installation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show experience delivering comparable concrete skateparks or closely related recreational facilities, with the design capability and construction expertise brought together in one delivery model. Relevant suppliers should be able to design facilities for varied users, replace an existing skatepark safely and deliver robust outdoor infrastructure to the required quality. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that a specialist small business can be positioned to deliver this type of council project.
