UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Tyneside Borough Council is seeking an environmental services contractor to maintain and improve its public rights of way network and watercourses. The network covers about 120 miles of bridleways and footpaths across private and public land, including farms, parks and housing estates. The work is construction and environmental maintenance delivered across North Tyneside. The council wants a professional partner to help protect and enhance this network. The requirement is presented as a single package, covering the network as a whole rather than separate geographical or service lots.

The council invited offers through an open competition. The stated enquiry deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12:00, and the bid deadline was 25 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract was due to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with two discretionary 12-month extensions, allowing for a possible end date of 31 March 2031. The estimated value is £720,000 excluding VAT (£864,000 including VAT). The award is weighted 70% on quality and 30% on price. Electronic submission is permitted. This is one contract package, and the opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

The work is suited to environmental services providers with experience maintaining and improving public rights of way and watercourses. Suppliers should be able to work across a substantial network spanning mixed public and private settings, including farms, parks and housing estates. The council seeks a qualified, competent and professional provider able to work in partnership with it to protect and enhance the asset. The quality-led evaluation makes the strength of the proposed delivery approach commercially important alongside price. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller firms may be well placed to compete, particularly those with the relevant environmental, maintenance and construction capabilities to deliver across the network.
