The work is classified as footpath construction and is intended to create a dedicated route for walking and running around the playing fields. The council is the buying organisation and the project site is in Bilbrook, Wolverhampton, England. This is a construction works requirement rather than a supply-only or consultancy contract. Businesses that build paths, footpaths, recreational routes or similar outdoor facilities should consider whether their experience and delivery capability match the proposed works when the project reaches the market. The procurement is at the planning stage: Bilbrook Parish Council has set out an intention to procure but has not invited tenders. The council planned market engagement to run until 26 August 2026. Any later procurement and contract award are expressly subject to the council securing the necessary external grant funding and obtaining financial approvals. The council may cancel, suspend or amend the process before award, without liability for costs incurred by tenderers. The project is intended to use a tender process, with the procurement method and detailed evaluation arrangements to be established as it develops. The council has identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This project should suit small and medium-sized construction businesses with practical experience of building footpaths, walking routes, running paths or comparable outdoor recreational infrastructure. Relevant preparation would include demonstrating the ability to plan and deliver path construction at a public playing-field site, manage site activities safely and coordinate the works through to completion. Contractors with experience working for parish councils, local authorities or community facilities may be well placed to respond when the requirement reaches the market. The council has identified SME suitability, so smaller firms and appropriate specialist contractors should monitor the project, assess their available delivery capacity and prepare evidence of comparable completed work. ## Notice NOTICE TO TENDERERS 1.1.
