UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancaster City Council is procuring the design and build of a new skate park at Green Ayre in Lancaster. The requirement is construction work for sports facilities, including a multi-purpose sports facility and wall-climbing equipment. The project combines design services with construction and the installation of specialist recreational equipment. Work will be delivered at Green Ayre, Lancaster, for the council. This is a works opportunity rather than a supply-only contract, and is most relevant to contractors able to take responsibility for both the design and physical delivery of a skate park or comparable sports and leisure facility. The scope may also interest businesses specialising in climbing or related recreational equipment as part of a wider delivery team.

The procurement has reached tender: Lancaster City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically, using the ProContract North eTendering portal; suppliers must register, express interest and complete the tender documents there. The submission deadline is 29 October 2026 at 13:00 UTC. The contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 January 2029. There is one lot, covering the full requirement. Its estimated value is £350,000 excluding VAT, or £420,000 including VAT. The tender is below the applicable threshold. The stated evaluation basis is “Below Threshold Evaluation”, with the detailed assessment requirements set out in the tender documents.

This opportunity suits specialist skate park designers and builders, sports facility contractors and multidisciplinary firms that can deliver a design-and-build project. Relevant capability includes designing recreational sports environments, undertaking construction work for sports facilities and coordinating the installation of specialist equipment. Contractors with experience of multi-purpose sports facilities may be well placed, particularly where they can manage the complete delivery from design through construction. The requirement also has relevance for suppliers of wall-climbing or rope-climbing equipment that can support the main contractor or form part of a delivery team. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate practical delivery capability, coordination across design and construction disciplines, and the capacity to provide a complete facility rather than isolated products.
