Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Accessible Nelson Works - Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7" was managed by Lancashire County Council, based in Preston, United Kingdom. This tender falls within the construction industry category specifically dealing with the laying of paving works as part of the Nelson Town Deal project. The procurement method was open competition, suitable for projects below the threshold. The tender stage commenced in June 2025 with a bid submission deadline on 14th July 2025, and the contract was subsequently awarded on 14th October 2025. The contract was awarded to J J O'GRADY LIMITED, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) located in Blackpool. The contract value is structured with an amount gross of £629,243 for the completion period from 15th October 2025 to 14th October 2027.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in paving works. Companies with expertise in the preparation of the sand, laying of paving, and the use of mortar bedding as directed would find themselves well-suited for similar contracts. The open competition method used suggests a competitive process, but it also opens opportunities for SMEs to engage with public sector contracts. Businesses that can demonstrate a strong record in delivering high-quality work within such infrastructure projects will likely benefit from participation in future procurement exercises from Lancashire County Council.
