Summary of the contracting process

The Borough Council of Newcastle-under-Lyme is procuring works for a new pump track at Lyme Valley Parkway neighbourhood park in Newcastle-under-Lyme. The project will replace an existing BMX track that is reaching the end of its useful life, together with part of the existing skate park, and will include a seating area. The scope covers detailed consultation with user groups, site users, residents and ward members; detailed design of the pump track; and installation. The finished design should reflect consultation feedback, meet the wishes of the local community and be suitable for all ages and wheeled users. This is a public-realm recreation and landscaping project, combining pump-track construction, park equipment and associated playground landscaping works.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed through the stated tender portal. The deadline for enquiries was 19 August 2026 at 17:00, and the bid deadline is 4 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 12 October 2026 to 15 January 2027, with a permitted short extension to 12 February 2027 for adverse weather. The estimated value is £135,000 excluding VAT, or £162,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is 40% price and 60% quality: three comparable projects, two consultation examples, the proposed consultation approach and a sketch design each contribute to the quality assessment.

This opportunity suits pump-track, skate-park, playground, landscaping and public-realm contractors able to design and install recreation facilities. It is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, and the opportunity has been widened to bidders nationally. Suppliers should be able to manage detailed consultation with residents, user groups, site users and ward members, then translate feedback into an inclusive design for different ages and wheeled users. Strong bidders will have evidence of delivering three projects with similar budgets or timescales, plus two previous consultations with residents or user groups showing how feedback changed the design. They must also provide a consultation methodology and a sketch design for the proposed scheme.
