## Summary

The public procurement process for the "Footpaths 2025" project was conducted by Cheshire West and Chester Council, a sub-central government public authority based in Ellesmere Port, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the construction industry category, specifically focusing on footpath development and maintenance. The tender, identified by id "DN781789", followed a limited procurement procedure below the threshold, implying limited competition. The contract has been awarded and is in the 'complete' stage, with the contract period set from 31st October 2025 to 30th October 2028, having a gross value of £360,000. The framework structure of the project means work will be allocated based on price, delivery capacity, and location, targeting delivery within the UKD6 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in construction work, particularly those specialising in infrastructure projects like roads and footpaths. Larger construction firms, as well as SMEs with strong capabilities in delivering competitive and efficient groundwork, would find this contract appealing. The framework approach allows for flexible engagement, offering chances to both large-scale suppliers like Dunkil Developments and SMEs such as Groundwork & Leisure Services Ltd to participate. Thus, this tender could drive business growth by securing substantial, stable work over a three-year period. This opportunity is well-suited for firms that can efficiently scale operations to meet multiple project demands across the specified geographic region.
