Summary of the contracting process

The procurement contracting process was initiated by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority for the project titled "Flagstones, White Mossy Hill, Swaledale, North Yorkshire." This contract falls under the "works" category and involves the construction of footpath infrastructure. Situated in North Yorkshire, this contract saw its tender stage activate in 2024 with the award announced in 2025. The procurement method selected was an open procedure. The overarching project was to supply and prepare up to 2900 linear metres of flagstones to construct a footpath suitable for the Coast to Coast Path National Trail, with specific delivery locations including Hartley in Cumbria and Swaledale, North Yorkshire. The award for this contract was eventually given to E & M Fairhurst & Son, and the contract was signed on 22 July 2024, with a value of £270,000 GBP.

This procurement contract offers significant opportunities for businesses in the construction and supply sectors, particularly those specialising in stone or flagstone materials. Companies with capabilities in stone manufacturing, logistics, and infrastructure development would find this opportunity well-suited to their services. Typically, firms that can offer competitive pricing, as the award criteria was based on price, along with high-quality material sourcing from within the UK, stand a strong chance of succeeding in such tenders. The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority serves as a reliable contracting authority, which could lead to sustained business relationships and further procurement opportunities in the environmental and public infrastructure sectors. This opportunity, through its open procurement method, allows for diverse market engagement and invites qualified companies to compete for future projects.
