Summary of the contracting process

Wigan Council, a public authority within the sub-central government in the United Kingdom, has successfully entered the award stage of their procurement process for the restoration and new build construction project at Haigh Woodland Park. The project titled "Haigh Woodland Park - Bothy Cottages and Events Venue Restoration and New Build Construction" falls under the construction industry category. Located in the Wigan region (UKD36), the process, initiated on May 2025, has moved through various stages and is now complete as of December 2025. The open procedure was used for this procurement, with significant works scheduled from October 2025 through January 2027, including a subsequent 12-month rectification period post-completion. The award went to H.H. Smith & Sons Co. Limited, signified by the issuance of contracts on October 27, 2025.

This procurement creates substantial business opportunities, particularly for companies in the construction sector that have expertise in both restoration and new build projects. The allocated funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Wigan Council underscores the importance of this project, expected to significantly enhance local community engagement through visitor experiences, training, and education. Specialised contractors with the capacity to manage both complex restorations and cutting-edge new constructions are well-positioned to compete and grow. Smaller and medium enterprises (SMEs) with a strong track record in construction, equipped to handle high-value and multi-faceted projects, will find this procurement beneficial to expand their business footprint in regional development initiatives.
