Summary of the contracting process

Lenham Parish Council is seeking contractors to refurbish the Maidstone Road car park, including resurfacing and renewal of its drainage system. The works involve tarmac and road-surfacing materials and are intended to restore the car park and its drainage. The delivery location is in the United Kingdom; the project is identified as Maidstone Road car park resurfacing. Detailed requirements and diagrams are referenced in the project specification and supporting materials. This is a civil engineering and car park resurfacing contract, rather than a supply-only purchase. Contractors with relevant surfacing and drainage expertise should assess the technical specification to understand the full scope of refurbishment and site requirements before deciding whether the work matches their services.

The council invited offers through an open competition under the below-threshold route. The process reached tender, with bids requested by email or post and considered as sealed bids after company information is redacted for councillors. Questions were due by 5 November 2026 at 23:59, and bids by 6 November 2026 at 23:59. The planned contract period runs from 1 January to 31 March 2027. The published estimated value is £0, so it does not provide a usable monetary estimate of the work. The procurement is a single lot. The council’s stated evaluation gives price a 60% weighting and quality 40%.

This requirement is suited to small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, which the council identifies as suitable participants. It is most relevant to contractors able to deliver car park resurfacing and associated drainage refurbishment as a complete works package. Practical experience with tarmac and road-surfacing materials, preparation of existing surfaces, drainage works and coordination of site refurbishment will be directly relevant to assessing the specification. The price-led evaluation means bidders need to develop a competitive costed offer, while quality also carries substantial weight, making a clear and credible delivery approach important. The work is a discrete, time-bounded local project, likely to suit firms with capacity to plan and complete the refurbishment within the stated contract period. No particular accreditation or minimum experience threshold is stated in the procurement details.
