Summary of the contracting process

Audley Rural Parish Council is procuring resurfacing works for the Church Street car park in Audley. The work involves removing the existing surfacing and laying new surfacing. The tender also includes associated site plans, sections, a drainage layout, an arboricultural impact assessment, an ecological enhancement plan and a lighting layout, alongside a schedule of works and preliminaries. The Borough Council of Newcastle-under-Lyme is providing procurement support. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom, and the opportunity was amended to allow national providers to compete rather than being limited to Staffordshire. This is a single car park repair project, suited to contractors undertaking road or car park surfacing and related site works.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline set by the buyer was 3 November 2026 at 17:00, and the tender submission deadline was 9 November 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is 4 January to 12 March 2027. The estimated value is £90,000 excluding VAT (£108,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Price accounts for 50% of the evaluation and quality for 50%. The quality assessment is divided between quality (30%), experience (30%), references (10%) and local social responsibility (30%). Selection criteria are contained in the invitation-to-tender documents. The procurement was amended to remove the Staffordshire location restriction and allow national suppliers to bid.

This opportunity is most relevant to surfacing and civil engineering contractors able to remove existing car park surfaces and deliver resurfacing works, with the capacity to complete the associated site work within the stated contract period. Small and medium-sized enterprises are considered suitable. The evaluation gives substantial weight to demonstrated quality and experience, with experience of delivering car park schemes preferred; suppliers should be ready to provide relevant references. Local social responsibility also forms part of the quality assessment, so bidders should address their contribution in this area. Price carries equal weight to quality, making a competitive, clearly priced offer important alongside evidence of delivery capability. The supporting tender materials include a schedule of works and technical site plans, as well as drainage, arboricultural, ecological and lighting information to inform delivery.
