Summary of the contracting process

South Derbyshire District Council is procuring external landscaping works at Granville Recreation Ground in Woodville, Swadlincote. The project will develop and improve an existing public park for the local community, including installing a new children’s play area, hard landscaping and associated supporting works. The detailed scope is defined in the Schedule of Works, drawings and specifications in the tender pack. This is a construction and landscape contractor opportunity, specifically involving landscaping work for parks (CPV 45112711). The council is the buying organisation and the works are to be delivered at Granville Recreation Ground. The requirement is a revised version of an earlier opportunity, with changes to the project scope, specification and available budget.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot requirement with an estimated value of £140,000 excluding VAT (£168,000 including VAT). The enquiry deadline was 24 July 2026 at 5:00pm, and the tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 5:00pm. Bids may be submitted electronically. The contract is scheduled to run from 5 October 2026 to 27 November 2026. Evaluation is based on 60% quality and 40% price. Suppliers should price against the revised tender documents, since the scope, specification and budget have been amended from the previous opportunity.

This opportunity suits contractors able to deliver external landscaping and park improvement works, including the construction of children’s play areas, hard landscaping and related supporting works. Bidders should be able to interpret and work to detailed schedules, drawings and technical specifications, and manage coordinated delivery of several elements within a defined construction programme. Relevant experience in public parks, recreation grounds, community facilities or comparable landscape construction projects would be well aligned. The requirement is likely to suit established local or regional landscaping and civil engineering contractors with the workforce, site management and practical capacity to complete the works during the specified contract period. The quality weighting makes delivery approach and technical capability important alongside price.
