Summary of the contracting process

Abbots Langley Parish Council has initiated the planning phase for a procurement process concerning the design and construction of a new community hall and the resurfacing of the adjacent car park at Primrose Hill. This project falls under the construction industry category, specifically works related to leisure facilities and resurfacing duties, with delivery expected in the UKH23 region of the United Kingdom. The authority is currently conducting preliminary market engagement to inform its procurement strategy, with key deadlines including 10th December 2025 for clarification questions and 19th December 2025 for questionnaire submissions. Suppliers are encouraged to visit the site, although no direct meetings will be held at this stage.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in construction, design, and sustainability. Suppliers can contribute insights on modular design options, innovative materials, and commercial models, facilitating business growth through participation in project planning. Small and medium enterprises are particularly suited to compete due to the suitability classification for SMEs. The procurement process will involve engagement through submitted questionnaires, allowing businesses to influence design and construction approaches, sustainability measures, and delivery timelines. Companies with expertise in energy-efficient solutions and sustainable construction practices will find this project particularly advantageous, as the Council is interested in innovative approaches such as solar panels and living roofs.
