This tender, titled "Design and Build of Skate Park (Castle Farm, Kenilworth)," falls within the works category, specifically targeting park and playground equipment and construction work for sports facilities. The procurement process includes a premarket engagement phase, with virtual meetings scheduled for the week commencing 27th July 2026, offering opportunities for interested suppliers to engage. Charlotte Hume serves as the contact point at the Council. This planning phase anticipates the tender process to commence in early September 2026, with a contract period slated to begin on 1st January 2027, concluding by early June 2027. The project is part of a wider initiative to replace the current skate park with a state-of-the-art facility, backed by secured funding of £300,000 and applications for additional funding. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction and sports facilities sectors to expand their portfolio with a public sector contract of approximately one year in duration. The tender is particularly suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in park equipment and sports facility construction. Participation in the premarket engagement could provide competitive insights, although it is not a prerequisite for future participation in the tendering process. Companies capable of navigating biodiversity and planning considerations, and those with experience in developing community recreational infrastructure, would be well-positioned to benefit from this procurement opportunity. ## Notice Warwick District Council (WDC) is looking to replace the current skate park at Caste Farm Recreation Ground, Fishponds Road, Kenilworth, CV8 1EY, with a state of the art new skate park.
