UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sprowston Town Council is planning a public procurement process for the design and construction of a new skate park in Sprowston, Norwich. The project is currently in the planning stage, with a planned tender notice published on 12th January 2026. The procurement method will be an open procedure, allowing potential bidders to participate competitively. The procurement is categorised under leisure centre and sports facilities construction work, with key milestones including the tender opening on 26th January 2026 and submission deadline on 26th February 2026. The contract is scheduled to start on 13th April 2026 and conclude by 11th September 2026, and presentations to an evaluation panel are expected during the week commencing 2nd March 2026. The tentative location for the project is on development land off Blue Boar Lane, Norwich.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, particularly those with expertise in sports and recreation facilities. The gross project value is estimated at £300,000, offering significant prospects for growth and portfolio expansion. Given its suitability for SMEs, smaller enterprises with innovative design capabilities and the ability to manage complex builds are well-positioned to bid successfully. Furthermore, the project requires a full design and build service, planning permissions, and public consultation, making it an ideal fit for contractors with comprehensive project management experience. An in-person presentation of the skate park design, demonstrating understanding and capability, will be a crucial component of the tender evaluation process.
