Summary of the contracting process

Broxbourne Borough Council is procuring works to construct a new footpath at Goffs Oak Playing Fields in Goffs Oak, Hertfordshire. The requirement is classified as footpath construction work and falls within the works category. The appointed contractor will be responsible for delivering the new path at the playing fields site. This is a single-site construction requirement for a local authority, relevant to civil engineering, highways, hard landscaping and specialist footpath contractors whose work includes constructing pedestrian routes. The council is the buying organisation and the delivery location is Goffs Oak, Hertfordshire.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Queries had to be submitted electronically by 5pm on 14 August 2026, and offers by 5pm on 21 August 2026. The contract period is 7 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. The estimated tender value is £85,000 excluding VAT and £102,000 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 75% cost and 25% quality, so price is the dominant consideration but the proposed approach and service quality also affect the outcome. Electronic submission was allowed through the council’s tendering portal.

This opportunity suits a suitably qualified and experienced contractor able to construct a new footpath in a public playing fields setting. Relevant businesses include civil engineering contractors, highways and footpath specialists, and hard landscaping firms with the practical capability to deliver pedestrian-route construction. The short, defined contract period favours suppliers with available site teams, plant, materials and project management capacity to undertake the works between early September and the end of November 2026. Bidders should be prepared to demonstrate both technical quality and a competitive price, because quality contributes 25% of the evaluation alongside the 75% cost weighting.
