Summary of the contracting process

Torpoint Town Council is overseeing the open procurement process to appoint a singular contractor to design and construct a skatepark for the Torpoint community in the UK. This procurement focuses on the industry category of "Park and Playground Equipment" and is active under the legal basis ID 2023/54. Currently in the tender update stage, the process was most recently updated on 11th November 2025. With a project budget capped at £400,000 (excluding VAT), the tender submission deadline has been extended to 27th November 2025, with the contract period commencing on 20th December 2025 and concluding by Easter 2027, subject to planning approval. The skatepark is planned to be a high-quality, concrete structure catering to a range of wheeled sports activities, and it will require adherence to JCT Minor Works 2016 standards.

The project offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies experienced in large-scale recreational construction and those adept at closely collaborating with local councils and community groups. Suitable contractors will need proven expertise in skatepark design and construction, financial stability, and a strong track record in Health & Safety compliance. Businesses that utilise local suppliers and can deliver a cost-effective solution that enhances community benefits are likely to be competitive contenders. The tender procedure is open and encourages submissions via electronic methods, facilitating broader participation and maximising visibility for small to medium enterprises (SMEs).
