## Summary

Derbyshire Dales District Council procured cemetery surfacing and footpath construction works in Ashbourne and Darley Dale, Derbyshire. The works covered resurfacing the main track at Ashbourne Cemetery from the lych gate to the north-west corner, fully reconstructing a track linking Watery Lane with a permeable paving system, and constructing permeable footpaths at Darley Dale Cemetery. One footpath connects an existing cemetery footpath to the footpath in Whitworth Park; the other forms part of a new memorial garden near the site entrance. This is a construction and civil engineering requirement involving road resurfacing, surface works for footpaths and new footpath construction. Derbyshire Dales District Council was the buyer, with AtkinsRéalis UK Limited supporting the technical specification, contract and tender assessment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition using a closed invitation to tender. There was one completed lot. Johnson Surfacing Limited was awarded the contract on 30 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 30 July 2026. The active contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 6 November 2026. Its gross value is £100,354.80. Evaluation was carried out through the limited competition procedure, with the tender covering the cemetery resurfacing and permeable footpath works described. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The selected supplier is Johnson Surfacing Limited, a Chesterfield-based SME. The procurement is classified as works, with the relevant activities being footpath construction, resurfacing and surface works for footpaths.

This award demonstrates demand from Derbyshire Dales District Council for a principal contractor able to deliver small-to-medium public-realm construction works across cemetery sites. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in road and track resurfacing, full reconstruction, permeable paving systems and footpath construction. Experience working around existing cemetery paths, memorial garden settings, park connections and site entrances would be relevant, as would the ability to connect new routes to existing infrastructure and complete several work areas under one contract. The awarded supplier is an SME based in Chesterfield, indicating that a specialist regional surfacing or civil engineering business can be well placed for this type of council requirement. Firms should be able to manage construction activities safely and coordinate works across Ashbourne and Darley Dale.
