Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council has initiated a tender process for the "Species Survival Access Improvements" project, focusing on enhancing community engagement with local green spaces. The procurement seeks to appoint a contractor to improve the path network and accessibility at Shire Brook Valley Nature Reserve and Richmond Park, located in Sheffield, United Kingdom. This active tender, categorized under the 'works' industry, involves footpath construction and surface work. Key dates include an enquiry period ending on 2nd May 2025 and a submission deadline for tenders on 8th May 2025. The project is part of an open procurement process, falling below the threshold for open competition, with a contract value estimated at £55,000. The planned contract period spans from 1st July 2025 to 30th September 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in construction, particularly those with expertise in footpath and surface improvement works. It is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organisations in the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sector due to its suitability criteria. With quality and price weighted at 40% and 60% respectively, businesses offering competitive pricing while maintaining high-quality standards could gain a significant advantage. Engaging with Sheffield City Council on this project could enhance a company's portfolio in public sector works and potentially lead to further opportunities in similar infrastructure projects.
