Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured design, manufacture and installation of site signage for the ‘Active Country Park’ at Parkwood Springs. The requirement covers consultancy and graphic design, the production of signs and related items, and their installation. It is a public-sector services contract led by Sheffield City Council, with the work associated with Parkwood Springs in Sheffield. The signage is intended to support the country park site, so relevant suppliers are those able to develop practical, location-specific sign systems rather than provide design work alone. The scope combines creative design with physical manufacture and on-site installation, making this relevant to signage specialists, environmental and wayfinding designers, graphic design consultancies, and firms able to manage delivery from concept through installation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. One lot was used, with the contract evaluated on price at 40% and quality at 60%; the lot was identified as suitable for SMEs. The tender deadline and enquiry deadline were both 8 May 2026 at 16:00. The estimated value was £30,000 excluding VAT, or £36,000 including VAT. Eleven Design Consultants Limited was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026, with a contract period from 28 July 2026 to 27 July 2027. Its recorded value is £35,922 including VAT. The contracting process was awarded to an active supplier, and the contract is recorded as active.

This procurement indicates demand from Sheffield City Council for integrated country-park signage, combining design consultancy, graphic design, manufacture and installation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show a complete delivery capability: developing clear and durable sign designs, translating them into manufactured signage and coordinating installation on an active public site. Strong quality evidence is important because quality carried greater weight than price in the evaluation. Relevant experience would include environmental, visitor, wayfinding or public-realm signage, with the ability to work to a council brief and manage practical site constraints. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist smaller firms or collaborative teams with complementary design, manufacturing and installation skills could compete effectively.
