Summary of the contracting process

Bishop's Stortford Town Council is seeking to engage a contractor for the construction of a truck grade turning area at Sworders Field. This construction work falls under the industry category of "Construction work" (CPV code 45000000) and is located in Bishop's Stortford, United Kingdom (region UKH23). The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with an open competition method below threshold, allowing for broad participation. The tender deadline is set for 16th December 2025 at 17:00, and the contract period is from 5th January 2026 to 11th April 2026. Interested parties are invited to submit their tenders electronically or physically to the council's designated contact person.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for construction firms, particularly Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), skilled in heavy-duty vehicle track construction. The contract, valued at a gross amount of £42,000, and assessed based on both price and quality, will appeal to businesses looking for projects that promise engagement at the local government level. The project's scale and budget could aid smaller firms in demonstrating their capabilities in public infrastructure projects, enhancing their portfolios and expanding their market presence. Ideal contenders would be those with relevant construction expertise and a strategic interest in establishing or expanding their footprint within the UKH23 region.
