Summary of the contracting process

Carn Brea Parish Council is seeking a contractor for the Moorfield Road Open Space Improvement Project in Pool, near Redruth. The works category covers improvements to a large public open space, intended to increase recreation opportunities, accessibility, biodiversity and community use. The requirement includes installing an asphalt path, new entrances, fencing and gates, associated groundworks for a play park, soft and hard landscaping, planting, play equipment, site furniture and alterations for a temporary car park. The project is arranged in two phases. Phase 1 covers the path, entrances, play-park ground preparation and temporary car park. Phase 2 covers wider landscaping, planting, play equipment and furniture. The Council expects both phases to be delivered, subject to grant funding for Phase 2.

The procurement has reached tender: Carn Brea Parish Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions had to be submitted by 11 September 2026 at 17:00, and tenders by 12 October 2026 at 17:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 23 November 2026 to 26 February 2027. The estimated gross value is £412,800. Phase 1 and Phase 2 must be priced separately because Phase 2 depends on successful grant funding. Bids are evaluated on covering letter and compliance information at 10%, method statement and programme at 40%, case studies or similar projects at 10%, and completed bill of quantities pricing at 40%. Tenders must remain valid for 90 days after the return date.

This suits construction contractors able to deliver public-realm and open-space improvement works across groundwork, asphalt paths, fencing, gates, landscaping, planting, play areas, furniture and temporary car-park alterations. The requirement favours a supplier, or delivery team, that can coordinate multiple workstreams and manage a phased programme from site preparation through installation and landscaping. Bidders need to demonstrate adequate resources for the required timetable, provide a clear method statement and project-management arrangements, and submit case studies or examples of similar completed projects. Current insurance is required, including at least £5 million employers’ liability, £10 million public liability and £2 million professional indemnity cover. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
