UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Cholsey Recreation Ground Improvement Project, managed by Cholsey Parish Council, is currently in the planning stage of its procurement process. The project aims to enhance the recreational facilities with two distinct elements that might be procured separately: the installation of a hard-surfaced footpath using self-binding gravel over approximately 750 meters, and the extension of a concrete skatepark. The procurement process is categorised under the 'works' industry and targets various regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, and others. Expressions of interest are expected by 22 July 2026, with the project planned to commence on 15 February 2027 and completion anticipated by 31 May 2027. Additional information is available via documentation published on 13 July 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, particularly those specialising in sports facilities and footpath construction work. SMEs are encouraged to participate, as the procurement appears suitable for smaller enterprises, offering them a chance to showcase their expertise in public sector projects and potentially explore future renewal opportunities. Given its scope and the opportunity to enhance local community facilities, competent businesses that can provide high-quality construction services at competitive prices are well-positioned to benefit from engaging with this procurement process.
