UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ashfield District Council is seeking one supplier to improve the existing footpaths at Sutton Lawn Park, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. The works comprise removing the existing surface layer, laying and compacting a new top surface, installing new timber edge boards and placing coir rolls along specified lake edges. The work must follow the specification, drawings, schedule of works and required timescales. Nottinghamshire County Council is managing the procurement on behalf of Ashfield District Council. This is a parks landscaping and footpath construction requirement, with the work taking place at a public site owned by Ashfield District Council. The site is accessible to the public, and prospective suppliers are advised to visit before preparing their offer.

The procurement has reached tender: the councils invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions could be submitted until 2 October 2026 at 12:00, and tenders were due by 16 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed. The requirement is one lot for a contract running from 20 November 2026 to 19 February 2027, with a possible one-month extension to 18 March 2027 if delays occur and the contract administrator agrees. The estimated value is £35,000 excluding VAT, or £42,000 including VAT. Offers are evaluated on quality at 60% and price at 40%. The contract uses a single supplier, and the tender documentation sets out the detailed specification, drawings and delivery requirements.

This opportunity suits an SME or established landscaping, footpath construction or parks maintenance contractor able to deliver small-scale civil engineering and landscape works. Suppliers should be capable of preparing and compacting a new path surface, fitting timber edge restraints and installing coir rolls beside lake edges, while working safely in a publicly accessible park. The successful contractor will need to organise and complete the works in line with the supplied specification, drawings and programme, and should inspect the site before tendering to understand access and working conditions. Subcontractors may be used, but their details must be included with the tender. The requirement is therefore suitable for a capable principal contractor with sufficient delivery resources, or a specialist firm able to coordinate relevant subcontracted activities.
