Summary of the contracting process

Kelsall Parish Council is seeking a contractor to design and construct an asphalt pump track on Kelsall Green in Kelsall. The works fall within landscaping and recreational sports-ground construction and cover the complete delivery of a pump track, rather than construction activity alone. The proposal must include outline drawings showing the layout, visual graphics identifying the track’s features, and a detailed construction specification. It must also address the materials and construction methods to be used, damage remediation, the proposed construction period, the requirements the contractor places on the council, and a proposed contract. The successful supplier will therefore need to combine pump-track design with specialist recreational-cycle construction and provide a complete, clearly documented solution for the council’s site.

The procurement has reached tender: Kelsall Parish Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 31 August 2026 at 18:00. Tenders had to be emailed to the council’s stated tender email address by 30 September 2026 at 18:00; electronic submission was allowed. There is one lot. Its estimated value is £75,000 excluding VAT, or £90,000 including VAT. The intended contract period is 1 June to 30 June 2027, with a possible extension to 31 July 2027 and renewal for adverse weather. Proposals are evaluated on track design and included features at 30%, construction specification at 20%, track record in similar pump-track or cycle-track projects at 20%, price at 20%, and overall proposal quality at 10%.

This opportunity suits specialist pump-track and cycle-track contractors able to provide both design and asphalt construction in a single proposal. Suppliers should be able to produce outline plans, convincing visual representations and a technically robust specification covering materials, construction methods and damage remediation. Relevant experience will carry substantial weight, specifically a track record of building similar pump tracks, cycle tracks, or both. The work also calls for suppliers that can set out a practical construction programme, explain their operational requirements to the parish council, propose suitable contractual arrangements and provide a payment schedule alongside a fixed-price offer. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to capable specialist firms as well as larger contractors with comparable experience.
