## Summary

Hedge End Town Council recently completed a procurement process titled "WLNR Footpath Resurfacing," which falls under the works category, specifically surface work for footpaths. Located in Wildern Local Nature Reserve, Hedge End, the project aimed at constructing an all-weather footpath with ecological considerations. The procurement employed an open procedure and reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 4 March 2026. The primary contract was awarded to Marlow Groundworks, a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) situated in Four Marks, United Kingdom.

The use of an open procedure allows for a broader range of potential suppliers to participate, foster competition, and potentially increase business growth through public contracts with regional authorities like Hedge End Town Council.
