Summary of the contracting process

Audley Rural Parish Council sought works to remove the existing surfacing and resurface the Church car park on Church Street in Audley. The project concerns car park resurfacing, with supporting plans covering existing and proposed site layouts and sections, drainage and lighting. The procurement was managed with advisory support from the Borough Council of Newcastle-under-Lyme. The delivery location is Audley, Staffordshire. This is a single car park improvement project rather than a supply contract or ongoing service, and is relevant to civil engineering and groundworks businesses with the equipment and workforce to remove existing surfaces and carry out resurfacing works.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The process reached tender, but the procurement was subsequently cancelled: submitted prices exceeded the budget available for the works. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 8 July 2026 at 17:00 and a bid deadline of 17 July 2026 at 17:00. The stated contract period ran from 26 August to 9 October 2026, with an extension permitted if adverse conditions affected delivery and a maximum extent date of 16 October 2026. The estimated value was £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). Price accounted for 50% of the evaluation; the remaining 50% was quality, including quality, relevant experience, references and local social responsibility. The procurement comprised one lot.

The requirement suits contractors experienced in removing existing car park surfacing and completing resurfacing schemes. Car park project experience was expressly preferred and contributes to the quality assessment, alongside general quality, references and local social responsibility. Both small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were identified as suitable to compete. The work is a defined, single-site scheme, making it most relevant to firms able to mobilise a suitable team and equipment for a concentrated programme of site works in Audley. The published project materials include proposed and existing site plans and sections, drainage and lighting layouts, an arboricultural impact assessment and an ecological enhancement plan, so bidders would need to account for these site interfaces when planning delivery. The procurement was cancelled because submitted prices exceeded the available budget.
