## Summary

Gedling Borough Council is procuring works to convert a former bowling green at Onchan Carlton, Nottingham, into an amenity green space for general recreational use. The scope includes landscaping for parks and recreational areas (CPV 45112710, 45112711 and 45112720), full disability access and egress, safety improvements, improved footpath surfacing, outdoor gym equipment and seating. The successful contractor will carry out the construction works and support grass seed establishment, maintenance activities and the first two grass cuts. This is a single-site public-realm and landscaping project for the council, combining groundworks, surfacing, accessibility improvements, equipment installation and early-stage grounds maintenance.

The process has reached tender: Gedling Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 26 August 2026 at 12:00, and the bid submission deadline was 2 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the council’s e-tendering platform. The estimated value is £120,000, with a stated gross value of £150,000. Construction is expected to take approximately four weeks, followed by an extended period of up to two months for grass establishment, maintenance and the first two cuts; the stated contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 May 2027. Quality carries 70% of the evaluation and cost 30%. The opportunity is identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This opportunity suits landscaping, parks and recreational-ground contractors able to deliver a complete small public-realm construction project. Relevant capability includes converting an existing bowling green into a usable amenity space, carrying out groundworks and safety improvements, creating full disability access and egress, and improving footpath surfacing. Suppliers should also be able to install outdoor gym equipment and seating, then manage grass seed establishment, maintenance activities and the first two grass cuts. The requirement therefore favours businesses that can combine landscape construction with early aftercare and grounds maintenance, coordinate several site activities, and complete the construction element within approximately four weeks. The tender is expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
