Located in Morecambe, the procurement process is in the tender stage with the deadline for submissions on 1st October 2025.

Notice Title

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.
