Summary of the contracting process

Drayton Bassett Parish Council is seeking a contractor to design and construct a pump BMX track at Drayton Bassett Playing Fields, Rectory Close, Drayton Bassett, Tamworth, Staffordshire. The project also includes installing new community sports equipment and may involve relocating existing play equipment. This is a combination of construction work and outdoor sports and playground equipment. The specified playing fields are the delivery site; the wider delivery-address data lists locations across England but does not identify further sites. The requirement is for a community recreation facility, with design and construction forming part of the same project.

The council invited tenders through a below-threshold open competition. This is one lot. Questions were due by 7 December 2026 at 23:59, and tenders by 18 January 2027 at 23:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April to 1 June 2027. The estimated value is £84,000 excluding VAT (£100,800 including VAT). Evaluation is weighted 80% to quality and 20% to price. Quality assessment considers the submitted proposal, including a project-specific delivery approach, clear itemisation, supporting visual plans and how the contractor will meet the council’s timescales. The council’s panel of councillors and officers will assess submissions. Bids can be submitted electronically or as a sealed package; designs must remove branding and logos for blind assessment.

The opportunity suits contractors able to combine pump-track design with practical construction and installation of community sports or playground equipment. Suppliers should be able to produce a clear, itemised proposal with visual plans and explain how their design and delivery approach will work at Drayton Bassett Playing Fields. They will need to address the council’s project timescales and, if relevant to their solution, plan the relocation of existing play equipment. A strong submission must make the proposed work and delivery plan understandable to a council evaluation panel, while keeping design materials free of company branding and logos. The mix of quality-led assessment and a defined site favours suppliers with relevant design-and-build capability and the capacity to deliver the complete project.
