Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council, acting for Rushcliffe Borough Council, procured construction work to improve the existing limestone footpaths at Rushcliffe Country Park in Nottinghamshire. The work is intended to make the paths safer and more accessible and to prevent further deterioration. The park covers 88 hectares of recreational and ecological land and includes 8 kilometres of limestone footpaths, as well as a play area, skate park and lake. The requirement concerns improvements to existing paths, rather than construction of a new path network.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Vaughandale Construction Ltd. The award was made on 9 January 2026 for £46,000. The contract period runs from 12 January to 20 February 2026. The original submission deadline was 5 November 2025 at 12:00. The stated procurement procedure is described only as “Other”; no further procedure detail is provided. The stated overall estimated value was £46,000. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

The award demonstrates demand from Nottinghamshire County Council, acting for Rushcliffe Borough Council, for practical construction work on an established country-park path network. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show experience improving existing limestone paths, with methods that enhance accessibility and user safety while limiting further surface degradation. Delivery in a recreational and ecological setting also makes the ability to work appropriately around public use and habitat relevant to the requirement. The selected supplier was identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that a smaller contractor was capable of winning this scale of path-improvement work. The work is specific to footpath construction and improvement; unrelated construction or engineering capabilities alone would not establish a fit.
