Summary of the contracting process

Burnley Borough Council procured works to tackle vehicle nuisance in green spaces during Phase 1 of its South-West Burnley programme. The requirement was to supply and install a range of vehicular barriers to prevent unauthorised vehicle access to green space around Hargher Clough Park and elsewhere in South-West Burnley. The works included road barriers and their installation (CPV 34928110 and 45233280). Delivery is in and around Burnley, Lancashire. The specification and written instructions set out the required works. Proffitt’s Investing in Communities CIC supported the council with enquiries during the tender period, while Burnley Council Green Spaces officers carried out the assessment and evaluation. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement was treated as works rather than goods or services.

This completed below-threshold procurement used a limited competition. One lot was awarded after three final-stage bids, including three from SMEs. Ground Inc Ltd was selected on 8 September 2026. The award value is £66,848.46 excluding VAT, or £80,218.15 including VAT. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 November 2026, with an option to extend by two to four weeks where necessary, up to 27 December 2026. The competition sought contractors with sufficient resources, capacity and experience of working with local authority clients. Bids were assessed by Green Spaces officers against the tender specification and written instructions. The award is active, and the scheduled contract signature date is 25 September 2026.

This award demonstrates a defined local-authority demand for practical measures that prevent vehicle access to public green spaces. A credible competitor for similar work would need to supply and install road or vehicular barriers, interpret a detailed specification, and deliver physical works in parks and other public open spaces. Experience of working for local authority clients is important, alongside sufficient operational resources and capacity to complete a short, concentrated installation programme. Firms should be able to manage site-based works around public spaces and follow written instructions precisely. The winning supplier was an SME, and all three final-stage bidders were SMEs, indicating that businesses of this scale can compete for the requirement. Relevant capability combines barrier supply, installation and reliable delivery for a council client.
