Summary of the contracting process

Bolsover District Council commissioned improvement and resurfacing works for existing eroded stone paths at Houfton Road Recreation Ground and adjacent open space in Bolsover. The requirement covers footpath construction work, including restoring path surfaces and improving links across the recreation ground and surrounding open space. It is a public-sector works contract managed by the council, with delivery in Bolsover. The work is relevant to contractors experienced in footpath construction, path resurfacing, open-space improvements, groundworks and associated site construction activities. Businesses serving local authorities, parks departments or public recreation sites may find the requirement particularly relevant where they can undertake practical path renewal works in an outdoor public setting and manage delivery across connected areas rather than a single isolated path.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was a single-lot requirement, with three bids received, all three reaching the final stage and all three submitted by SMEs. The contract was awarded on 18 June 2026 to LANGFORD DIRECT LIMITED for £45,870.30 gross. The award period runs from 8 July 2026 to 7 October 2026. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and its recorded performance period runs from 7 September 2026 to 21 September 2026. The contract includes an option to trigger phase 3 works, involving further linkage of existing paths, at any time before 31 October 2026. The award is active and the contract is active.

This procurement provides a clear example of Bolsover District Council’s demand for practical path improvement works in public recreation and open-space environments. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need proven experience in footpath construction and resurfacing, particularly the renewal of eroded stone paths and the creation or improvement of links between existing routes. The work also suits an SME-sized contractor: all three bids reaching the final stage in this competition came from SMEs. Suppliers should therefore be able to deliver a focused, single-site works package, coordinate outdoor construction activities safely, and demonstrate relevant completed projects to compete effectively when the council next needs comparable path or open-space works.
