Summary of the contracting process

Carn Brea Parish Council is seeking construction and landscaping work to improve Moorfield Road Open Space in Pool, near Redruth. The aim is to make the site more accessible, support biodiversity and provide better recreation and community facilities. The work is divided into two phases: phase 1 covers an asphalt path, new entrances, preparatory groundworks for a play area and a temporary car park; phase 2 covers wider hard and soft landscaping, planting, play equipment and furniture. The contractor is expected to supply and install the path, fencing and gates, play equipment and furniture, carry out landscaping, and alter and install the temporary car park. The council intends to deliver both phases, but phase 2 depends on successful grant funding. This is a works contract (CPV 45000000).

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement reached the tender stage, with electronic email submissions permitted. Questions were due by 11 September 2026 at 17:00, and offers by 12 October 2026 at 17:00. The planned contract period runs from 23 November 2026 to 26 February 2027. The gross estimated contract value is £412,800. There is one lot, and suppliers may price the two phases separately; phase 2 delivery is conditional on grant funding. Evaluation gives 40% to the method statement and programme, 40% to the completed bill of quantities and price, 10% to case studies of similar projects, and 10% to the covering letter, including confirmation of resources and insurance. Bids must remain valid for 90 days from the return date.

The opportunity suits small and medium-sized businesses able to deliver a coordinated public-space improvement project, combining civil groundworks, path construction, fencing and gates, landscaping, play installation, furniture and temporary parking works. Suppliers should be able to resource the required programme and explain their project management arrangements in a method statement that shows how they will meet the timetable. Previous comparable work should be evidenced through case studies or examples. The covering letter must confirm current insurance: employer’s liability cover of at least £5 million, public liability cover of at least £10 million and professional indemnity cover of at least £2 million; supporting evidence is required from the successful tenderer. The two-phase scope may suit contractors able to price and manage the work in separate packages, while recognising that phase 2 depends on grant funding.
