Summary of the contracting process

Stratfield Mortimer Parish Council commissioned Phase C of the Mortimer to Burghfield Cycleway: construction work on a footpath between Mortimer and Burghfield Common. The buyer is based in Mortimer, near Reading. The work is classified as footpath construction. The procurement has one lot and concerns works rather than goods or a service. Both recorded awards name the same contractor and describe footpath construction; the first award title specifies the footpath between Mortimer and Burghfield Common, while the second is titled Phase C of the cycleway.

The procurement is complete and contracts are active. It was run through below-threshold limited competition, with three bids recorded, all three from SMEs. One supplier, RC Saunders Limited, received both recorded awards. The first award, dated 16 January 2026, is valued at £248,486 excluding VAT (£298,183 including VAT); its contract runs from 21 May to 31 July 2026 and was signed on 1 April 2026. The second award has no recorded award date or award value. Its contract is valued at £80,067.16 excluding VAT (£95,960.59 including VAT), was signed on 12 June 2026 and runs from 1 September to 31 December 2026. No evaluation criteria are recorded.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Stratfield Mortimer Parish Council for footpath construction as part of a local cycleway scheme. A future competitor would need to deliver this type of construction work in the Mortimer and Burghfield Common area. The limited competition attracted three bids, all from small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier, RC Saunders Limited, is an SME. This shows that SME contractors competed successfully for the work; the published information does not describe specific technical, accreditation or capacity requirements, so the awards do not establish what qualifications were decisive.
