## Summary

Bassetlaw District Council is spearheading a public procurement process aimed at enhancing physical security in Retford Town Square. The tender, titled "Retford Town Square Security Enhancements," seeks to align with the requirements of "Martyn's Law." This involves archaeological site investigations, removal and relocation of non-compliant street furniture, and installations of AWV-resistant bollards and street furniture. The procurement stage is now complete, with the awards published on 2 April 2026. The contract period for the successful bids will commence on 1 May 2026 and conclude on 31 August 2026. The process was conducted using an open competition method, inviting bids beneath the threshold, focusing on both works and services within the United Kingdom, particularly the UKF15 region.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and archaeological services. Suppliers like AWJ Building Solutions Ltd, an SME, have successfully secured contracts, demonstrating the potential for small and medium enterprises to thrive in local government projects. The tender involves installations of security bollards and street furniture, requiring expertise in construction and public space enhancement, perfect for companies with experience in these areas. Businesses interested in future opportunities like these should have capabilities in both meticulous planning and execution across different phases of public works, enabling them to compete effectively for sub-central government contracts.
