Summary of the contracting process

Boston Borough Council is procuring footpath repair and resurfacing works at Central Park and Skatepark, 8 Thorold Street, Boston, Lincolnshire. The requirement covers footpaths throughout the busy public park and is intended to provide a durable, safe and aesthetically appropriate finish for residents and visitors. The contractor will need to plan and carry out the works with proper regard for public safety and with minimal disruption to the park’s operation wherever practicable. This is civil engineering and external surfacing work, classified under CPV 45233253, Surface work for footpaths. The procurement is managed for the council by Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd. The work is located in Boston and concerns one integrated requirement rather than separate service areas.

The process reached tender: Boston Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Clarification enquiries had to be submitted by 11 September 2026 at 12:00, and tender returns were due by 18 September 2026 at 12:00. Bids must be submitted electronically through the PSPS In-Tend tendering portal, which requires supplier registration. The contract is scheduled to run from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £200,000 excluding VAT, or £240,000 including VAT. There is one lot, with the same estimated value and contract period. Evaluation is based on price at 75%, quality of the method statement at 10%, quality of the programme at 10%, and social value at 5%.

This opportunity suits contractors experienced in footpath repair, resurfacing and associated external civil engineering works, particularly businesses able to deliver a durable, safe and visually appropriate finish in a public park environment. Suppliers should be capable of managing construction activity around residents, visitors and the ongoing operation of a busy public amenity, with effective measures to protect the public and minimise disruption. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established local or regional surfacing firms as well as larger contractors. A site visit is recommended before bidding, so bidders should be able to inspect existing footpaths, assess access and operational constraints, and develop a credible method statement and delivery programme.
