Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council commissioned resurfacing of footpaths at Trosley Country Park. The requirement is outdoor path-surfacing work to renew the park’s footpaths; the published scope does not describe the surfacing materials, path lengths or specific construction activities. The work is at Trosley Country Park in Kent. This is a parks and outdoor-maintenance requirement, rather than a general road-resurfacing project, so it is most relevant to contractors experienced in maintaining or renewing pedestrian paths in public open spaces. The council is the buyer and will use the completed work at the country park.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Coppard Plant Hire Limited. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 19 October 2026 and runs from 19 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its stated value is £66,560 excluding VAT and £79,872 including VAT. The process was described as below threshold, with the specific procedure not identified. The award information records the work as a service and links it to an agricultural, forestry and horticultural services classification, but does not set out evaluation criteria or a scoring basis. The supplier has been selected and the contract is active.

For suppliers considering this requirement when it next returns to the market, the award demonstrates demand from Kent County Council for footpath resurfacing at Trosley Country Park. A credible competitor would need to show it can deliver path-surfacing work in a country-park setting and manage the practical requirements of work on pedestrian routes. The selected supplier is a plant-hire business, indicating that plant and equipment capability is relevant to the delivery context, although the published scope does not identify particular machinery, surfacing materials, technical standards or required accreditations. The award was made through a below-threshold procurement. The available details provide no stated evaluation criteria, so they do not establish whether price, technical quality, experience or another factor determined the selection.
