Summary of the contracting process

Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council procured works to resurface dressed Type 1 footpaths with granite fines and top tarmac paths with road planings at Leybourne Lakes Country Park in Larkfield, Kent. The site is a public open space managed for informal recreation and nature conservation. The requirement covers park landscaping, resurfacing, footpath surfacing and associated flatwork. It is suited to contractors able to carry out practical path and surface works in a public park environment, including preparation and installation of the specified granular and planing materials. The council is the buying organisation and the delivery location is Leybourne Lakes Country Park, Larkfield, ME20 6AA. The procurement is categorised as works and relates to a single requirement covering the country park’s paths.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Fifteen bids were received, with nine reaching the final stage; all nine final-stage bidders were SMEs. The requirement was evaluated on cost, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%. The estimated lot value was £240,000 gross. On 14 August 2026, Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council awarded the works to Henderson & Taylor Public Works Limited for £98,251.18 gross. The awarded contract period is 31 August 2026 to 30 November 2026, with signature scheduled by 24 August 2026. The tender’s stated delivery period was 17 August 2026 to 9 November 2026. Bids could be submitted electronically, and the enquiry deadline was 17 July 2026.

This award indicates a clear requirement for specialist or general civil engineering contractors experienced in resurfacing paths and park surfaces, particularly where work involves dressed Type 1 footpaths, granite fines, tarmac paths and road planings. A credible future competitor would need the workforce, plant, materials knowledge and site-management capability to deliver durable surfaces in a public country park while maintaining an environment used for informal recreation and nature conservation. The successful route was an open competition below the applicable threshold, and the field attracted substantial SME participation, with nine SMEs reaching the final stage. Smaller contractors and voluntary, community or social enterprises were identified as suitable for the requirement. Evidence of reliable quality, alongside competitive cost control, would be important because quality formed 40% of the evaluation and cost 60%.
