UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gwinear-Gwithian Parish Council is procuring Phase 3 of the Sampson Park Landscape and Planting Project in Connor Downs. The works will complete the soft landscaping for the refurbished public green space, with a focus on nature recovery, biodiversity and community engagement. The scope includes planting native trees, installing cobbles and planters, and providing signage. Earlier phases covering demolition, play equipment, surfacing, access improvements, furniture and groundworks are being delivered separately. The project is intended to transform Sampson Park into a nature-rich, inclusive space where local residents can connect with the natural environment. This is a public landscaping and park improvement works contract delivered in Connor Downs, within Gwinear-Gwithian Parish Council’s area.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 9 August 2026 at 2pm, and offers were due by 9am on 1 September 2026. The contract period is from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. It is a single lot with a maximum value of £35,000 including VAT. The tender was issued for the Phase 3 works, following the earlier project phases and their funding and delivery arrangements. The award will be based on the criteria set out in the bidding documents. Relevant information was to be submitted by email in response to the invitation to tender. The procurement is for works rather than goods or consultancy services.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized landscaping, horticultural and park improvement contractors able to deliver practical works in a public open space. Relevant suppliers are likely to have experience of soft landscaping, native tree planting, biodiversity-focused schemes and community-facing environmental improvements. The work also requires the ability to install cobbles and planters and provide or position site signage, so firms with suitable groundworks and landscape construction capability may be well placed. Contractors should be able to coordinate several related activities and complete them within the specified contract period. The project will suit businesses that can demonstrate reliable delivery of small-scale public realm or park refurbishment works, work safely on an occupied community site, and understand inclusive design and nature recovery objectives.

These works are scheduled for completion in August 2026. This contract will deliver Phase 3, which will introduce soft landscaping, native tree planting, cobbles/planters and signage. Phase 3 is the element that delivers the project's core nature recovery, biodiversity, and community engagement benefits, transforming the refurbished site into a nature rich, inclusive green space where residents can connect with the natural environment. A maximum budget of PS35,000 to include VAT has been set for the phase 3 works.
