Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council, a public authority under sub-central government, has completed the contract award process for the tender titled "Grange Cemetery footpath improvement works" under tender ID DN773201. The project involves upgrading the existing footpaths at Grange Cemetery for health and safety reasons, with requirements to remove old flags and install a new tarmac footpath, alongside improvements to concrete paths. The procurement took place under a limited competition method due to its below-threshold value. The award was made to Horticon Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Wilmslow. The contract, valued at £46,743.18 gross, was signed on 17th July 2025 and will span until 17th September 2025.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in civil engineering and construction, particularly those with expertise in footpath construction work. Companies engaged in the provision of infrastructure upgrades or maintenance services could find similar projects suitable for expansion due to the requirement for improving public amenities. The limited competition method indicates a focused market entry with potential for growth by establishing a reputation for quality and reliability in public sector contracts. As such, SMEs with the capacity to efficiently deliver public works projects within budgetary constraints stand to benefit significantly from securing contracts of this nature.
