Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "WCC Country Parks Signage and Wayfinding." This initiative, aiming to enhance the visitor experience across its extensive country parks and greenways, is situated in the United Kingdom—a region receiving over a million visitors annually. The procurement process involves services such as design, signage, and mapping services in rural areas, and it targets regions including UKC to UKK. Interested suppliers are encouraged to participate in a market engagement exercise by completing a questionnaire available on CSW-Jets by 30th May 2025, with submissions due by Noon. The Council has planned for the project to start by December 2025 and finish by the end of the 2025/26 financial year.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities, especially for SMEs, given the large-scale implementation across various UK regions. Businesses specialising in design, signage creation, and fabrication, particularly those with expertise in outdoor and environmental projects, would be well-suited to compete for the contract. The phased approach undertaken by Warwickshire County Council provides an opportunity for consistent engagement and delivery, potentially securing long-term affiliations with the Council for successful bidders. The open procurement method ensures accessibility for interested suppliers, allowing for competitive participation in this substantial public improvement project.

Notice Title

WCC Country parks signage and wayfinding

Notice Description
