Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured construction works for the Ise Valley Greenway. The requirement was to install a new cycleway improving pedestrian and cycling access along the River Ise, including the section north and south of Deeble Road. The route connects with Hanwood Park Garden Community and forms part of a planned continuous route through Wellingborough, Kettering and Corby along the Ise Valley. The work is classified as pedestrian ways construction and is relevant to civil engineering, highways, public realm, cycleway and surfacing contractors able to deliver transport infrastructure works in this corridor. The council is the buyer and public authority responsible for the procurement.

This completed below-threshold open competition was evaluated on a combination of price and quality, with the preferred provider being the highest overall scorer across both criteria. The tender submission deadline was 6 October 2025 at 12:00. The single lot had an estimated value of £300,000 excluding VAT, or £360,000 including VAT, and the contract period was initially set from 12 November 2025 to 11 February 2026. The contract was awarded to Phoenix Surfacing Limited and signed on 17 July 2026. The active contract runs from 17 July 2026 to 31 October 2026, with a value of £278,734 excluding VAT, or £334,480 including VAT.

This award demonstrates North Northamptonshire Council’s demand for practical cycleway and pedestrian infrastructure construction, including route connections, public realm works and surfacing associated with a wider greenway. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need the workforce, plant and site-management capability to construct and finish cycle routes safely, coordinate works around roads and communities, and deliver connected sections to the required quality standard. The evaluation shows that both price and quality matter, so suppliers would need to present a competitive commercial offer alongside clear evidence of delivery methods, workmanship, programme control and risk management. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller specialist highways, surfacing and civil engineering businesses as well as larger contractors.
