Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured remedial surfacing works for Kingsway Moreton Avenue and the Swanspool Brook cycle and footpath in Wellingborough. The work covered 794.88 square metres of footpath surface. It included establishing a secure site compound and welfare facilities, providing safety barriers and signs, cutting back the existing surface to sound tarmac, excavating and disposing of the existing material, treating weeds, applying tack coat emulsion and forming cold joints at the sides. The contractor was also required to remove all arisings and leave the area clean. This is a civil engineering and footpath surfacing requirement, classified under CPV 45233253, for delivery in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. North Northamptonshire Council is the public-sector buyer.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Six valid bids were received. The single lot was evaluated on price and quality, weighted 70% and 30% respectively. The award was made to Finesse Groundworks Ltd on 16 January 2026. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and is active from 24 August 2026 to 18 October 2026. Its value is £4,327,862 excluding VAT and £5,193,734 including VAT. The original estimated lot value was £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The procurement was below threshold and treated as a concession. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement demonstrates demand from North Northamptonshire Council for specialist footpath and cycle-path remedial works, including substantial surface preparation and resurfacing. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in tarmac and footpath surfacing, saw-cutting, excavation, weed treatment, tack coat application and cold-joint construction. It would also need to manage site compounds, staff welfare, plant security, temporary safety barriers and signage, and the removal and lawful disposal of excavated material. The requirement favoured a supplier able to coordinate the full works package and leave the site clean, rather than only supplying materials or carrying out isolated repairs. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that an appropriately equipped smaller contractor can compete through an open council process when it can evidence quality alongside competitive pricing.
