Summary of the contracting process

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned works to improve the bowling green infrastructure at Buffery Park in Dudley. The project addresses deteriorating infrastructure and unsafe pedestrian access, bringing a largely unused part of the park back into use. The works cover fencing to secure the site, including two pedestrian entrances and one vehicular entrance; replacement of an existing concrete slab wall or bank with gabion retaining walls; repair of the remaining concrete slab structure; and replacement of asphalt paths and steps. Existing access will be formalised to meet DDA requirements. The procurement is primarily landscaping work for parks, including landscaping and associated civil engineering works. Delivery is in Dudley, England.

The procurement is complete and one contract was awarded to Haystoun Construction Ltd. Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council used a below-threshold tender process, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and is valued at £70,065.16 excluding VAT, or £84,078.19 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 19 October 2026, with a maximum extent date of 19 October 2027. The contract includes a 12-month rectification and defect liability period and renewal rights. Evaluation resulted in an active award to Haystoun Construction Ltd. The agreed delivery measures cover clearance works, new retaining structures, fencing, paving and completion.

This award indicates demand from Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council for small-scale park infrastructure and access improvement works combining landscaping, groundworks, retaining structures, fencing, paving and public-realm safety requirements. A credible competitor for similar work would need to coordinate multiple construction disciplines on an operational or public park site, manage pedestrian and vehicular access, and deliver compliant access arrangements. Relevant experience would include gabion retaining walls, repairs to concrete structures, asphalt paths, steps, site fencing and clearance works. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable completion against defined work packages and quality expectations, with arrangements for rectifying defects after completion. The award to an SME suggests this scale and delivery model can suit established specialist contractors with practical site-management capacity.
