Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Huntingdonshire District Council procured major improvement works at Hinchingbrooke Country Park near Huntingdon. The works cover the reconstruction of the Countryside Centre, expanded car parking with electric vehicle charging, improved access and pathways, biodiversity and habitat enhancements, and wider visitor-facility improvements across the park’s 150 acres of grassland, woodland and lakes. The scheme also includes new toilets and a Changing Places facility. The intended outcomes are better accessibility, improved visitor facilities and stronger protection of the park’s natural environment. Building features include renewable materials, a green roof and grey-water recycling. This is a construction and civil engineering requirement, rather than a standalone consultancy, supplies or routine maintenance contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Huntingdonshire District Council used a limited direct-award procedure without prior publication of a competition, through the Pagabo National Framework for Medium Works 2023, Lot 3 covering the South East of England and East Anglia. The award was made to Lindum Group on 14 July 2026. The active award value is £3,556,118. A single bid was recorded. The published tender lot is marked cancelled, while the award and associated contract are recorded as active, so the outcome is the award to Lindum Group rather than an opportunity for further bids. The contract is covered by the GPA and was evaluated on price.

This award indicates demand from Huntingdonshire District Council for a principal works contractor able to deliver complex public-realm and community-facility redevelopment in a sensitive country-park setting. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need experience coordinating construction, civil engineering, access and parking works, visitor buildings, public toilets and accessibility facilities within an operational natural environment. Capability in biodiversity enhancement, habitat protection and sustainable building measures would be relevant, including renewable materials, green roofs and grey-water recycling. The requirement also demonstrates the value of access to an appropriate medium-works framework and the ability to secure a direct-award call-off. Suppliers should be able to manage a broad, integrated programme rather than a single specialist trade.
