Summary of the contracting process

Sprowston Town Council has completed the award stage for an open procedure aiming to design and install a new skatepark at Blue Boar Lane, Norwich, with the project valued at £345,000 plus VAT after a budget increase to achieve a higher quality design. BETONGPARK LIMITED has been chosen as the supplier, following a competitive bidding process where three bids were submitted. The procurement falls under the construction work for sports facilities industry category, with construction expected to start on 13 April 2026 and conclude by 31 December 2026. The council received guidance that the skatepark could be built under Permitted Development, eliminating the need for further planning applications.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses in construction, particularly SMEs, as it emphasises design excellence and previous experience. The project involves a comprehensive design and build including drainage, surfacing, and street furniture, which could benefit contractors with expertise in sports facilities and landscaping. The skatepark project is an ideal opportunity for businesses looking to showcase their creative capabilities and technical skills in bespoke facility construction, while adhering to the specifications outlined by the council.
