Summary of the contracting process

Wyre Borough Council commissioned construction and renovation works at Wyre Estuary Country Park. The project involved removing the existing kitchen, offices, hall and store on the western side of the building, while retaining the classroom on the eastern side. New facilities comprise a Rangers Office, an Outdoor Learning Room and an Exhibition Centre, alongside renovation of the structures being kept. The work is construction, rather than a supply-only contract, and is focused on redeveloping the park’s existing building for ranger, outdoor learning and exhibition use. The delivery location is Wyre Estuary Country Park, in the Wyre area. The Council is the buyer and awarded the work as a single lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Wyre Borough Council used a below-threshold limited competition. Singleton & Smart Limited was selected and the contract was signed on 6 October 2026. Its stated value is £369,865 excluding VAT and £443,838 including VAT. The contract period runs from 6 October 2026 to 5 April 2027. The procurement was organised as one lot, covering the demolition and removal, new construction and renovation works described. The published procurement information does not set out the award evaluation basis, so no price-versus-quality weighting or other scoring approach can be reported. The outcome records one supplier and one active contract for the works; there are no separate lot awards or supplier-specific values to distinguish.

For suppliers assessing similar future work for Wyre Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for a combined building redevelopment package at a country park: selective demolition, protection of retained facilities, construction of new visitor and operational spaces, and renovation of existing structures. A credible competitor would need to coordinate these elements as an integrated construction project, including careful work around the classroom that remains in use or is retained. Relevant capability would include managing demolition and new-build activity alongside refurbishment, with the capacity to deliver several types of space within one site. The award went to a small or medium-sized construction supplier, showing that this scale of work was delivered by an SME; the available information does not establish particular accreditations or specialist qualifications.
