UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancaster City Council is procuring the design and construction of an expansion to the skatepark and a climbing wall at Green Ayre in Lancaster. This is a works contract covering sports-facility construction, including a multi-purpose sports facility and climbing-wall equipment. The scope combines design responsibility with physical construction and installation, so it is relevant to contractors able to deliver an integrated design-and-build sports project. The requirement also includes wall and rope climbing equipment, making specialist climbing-wall capability relevant alongside general construction expertise. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work will be delivered at Green Ayre, Lancaster.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Responses must be submitted electronically by 29 October 2026 at 13:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 January 2029. The estimated value is £350,000, or £420,000 including the gross amount stated. There is one lot, covering the skatepark expansion and climbing wall. The stated evaluation basis is “Below Threshold Evaluation”. Tender documents are available through the ProContract North eTendering portal; suppliers must register, express an interest and submit their completed response there. Electronic submission is allowed.

This opportunity suits design-and-build contractors with experience delivering public or community sports facilities, particularly skateparks, climbing walls or comparable outdoor recreation infrastructure. Strong candidates are likely to combine design coordination, construction delivery and installation of specialist climbing equipment, and to manage the interfaces between civil, structural and recreational-facility work. It may also suit specialist skatepark or climbing-wall firms working with construction partners, where the tender permits an appropriate delivery arrangement. Suppliers need the capacity to undertake a multi-year project and coordinate delivery at Green Ayre in Lancaster. The requirement is particularly relevant to businesses able to demonstrate practical sports-facility construction experience and the resources to deliver both the built expansion and specialist equipment elements.
