Summary of the contracting process

Lancaster City Council is inviting tenders for the design and construction of the Douglas Park Skatepark in Heysham. The project aims to create a skatepark tailored to the needs of local young people, featuring elements such as banks, ramps, rails, and ledges. Located in Morecambe, the procurement process is in the tender stage with the deadline for submissions on 1st October 2025. The procurement falls under the 'works' category and involves an open competition below the threshold, with a contract value of £58,000 exclusive of VAT. The contract is expected to start on 29th October 2025 and conclude by 31st March 2026.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for contractors specialising in recreational and leisure construction, particularly those with expertise in skatepark design and build. Businesses with experience in both playground and landscaping work will find this contract appealing due to the requirement for creative and practical solutions fitting the existing terrain. The open procurement method allows for a diverse range of qualified small to medium-sized enterprises to participate, providing a platform to showcase innovative designs and potentially expand their portfolio within the public sector.

Notice Title

Douglas Park Skatepark Heysham

Notice Description

Lancaster City Council is seeking to appoint a single contractor to design and build a low-level skatepark that suits the needs of the local young people. Ideally the area would incorporate banks and ramps at either end with other elements such as rails,ledges,slappy curbs, manual pads. We are open to consider other suitable options. As we do not have the budget to resurface the current area, we will require the skatepark equipment to come together to make one unit/smooth surface.
