Summary of the contracting process

Burnley Borough Council procured works to reinstate the grassed playing field at Rakehead Recreation Ground, Hind Street, Burnley, Lancashire. The project involves removing a temporary car park, excavating and transporting the existing stone surface, removing solar lighting columns, collecting and spreading stored topsoil, and reinstating the playing field. It also includes reinstatement works to a bituminous footpath. This is a civil engineering and sports-ground restoration requirement, including car-park surface removal and sports-field repair. The work is delivered at the recreation ground in Burnley. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement is classified as works. The awarded supplier, 4 Seasons Garden Maintenance Limited, is an SME based in Rochdale, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist contractor with suitable grounds, excavation and reinstatement capabilities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to 4 Seasons Garden Maintenance Limited on 12 August 2026. It was a below-threshold open competition, with three bids received and all three reaching the final stage. There was one lot, suitable for SMEs, and evaluation was based entirely on price. The estimated value was £80,000 excluding VAT and £96,000 including VAT; the awarded value was £84,274.91 excluding VAT and £101,129.89 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 July 2027 to 1 September 2027, with a maximum extent to 1 October 2027. An extension of time may be issued under the contract, for example because of inclement weather. The planned contract signature milestone is 1 July 2027.

This award demonstrates demand from Burnley Borough Council for practical recreation-ground and public-realm reinstatement works, combining surface removal, excavation, haulage, topsoil handling, sports-field restoration, lighting-column removal and footpath repairs. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would have demonstrable experience in civil engineering or grounds construction, including working safely around public recreation facilities and coordinating several site activities. Relevant capacity would include plant and transport for excavation and stone removal, equipment and labour for spreading topsoil and restoring grassed areas, and the ability to reinstate bituminous paths. Contractors should also be able to manage programme risks such as weather and deliver a complete, coordinated site solution. The competition attracted three final-stage bids, and price was the sole evaluation basis, so cost control and efficient delivery would be important alongside technical capability.
