## Summary

Wigan Council is currently in the tender stage for a project involving the restoration of Haigh Woodland Park, located in Wigan, United Kingdom. The process, initiated under an open procurement method, involves a works package focusing on the creation of a Woodland Hub visitor facility and improvements to existing footpaths in the historic Plantation Woodlands. This opportunity is bolstered by a National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) grant, with a contract value of £600,000 (gross £720,000). Key deadlines include the tender submission due by 25th July 2025 and an enquiry deadline set for 18th July 2025. The entire works programme is scheduled from October 2025 through May 2026, ensuring strategic execution within the defined timeline.

This contracting opportunity provides an excellent platform for growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction industry. Contractors with expertise in outdoor recreational facilities, civil works, and heritage site improvements will find this tender particularly fitting. The project's engagement with a design team, availability of detailed project planning, and a structured assessment involving quality and social value metrics (40%) alongside price consideration (60%) present a robust case for participation. Wigan Council’s commitment to community-focused improvements offers participating businesses an opportunity to contribute to a significant civic enhancement initiative while building a broader portfolio in public works.
