The project is to resurface the public footpath and install proposed street furniture, together with associated green and blue infrastructure. Its purpose is to renew an outdated public space and support wider regeneration of the town centre. This is a construction project, covering works to the streetscape and public realm rather than routine maintenance or a standalone supply contract. The council is seeking a contractor capable of delivering the combined resurfacing, furniture and infrastructure scope. The delivery location is George Street, Luton, within the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as construction work and is intended to be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This procurement is at the planning stage: Luton Council has stated an intention to procure and has not yet invited tenders. The council expects the next notice to be published on 21 September 2026. Before then, it plans preliminary market engagement on 16 September 2026 at 10am, covering the requirements, tender process, access to the procurement portal, social value and questions and answers. The planned contract period is from 4 January 2027 to 3 July 2028. The estimated value is £2,083,333.33 excluding VAT, or £2,500,000 including VAT. There is one planned lot. The procurement is below the relevant threshold, and the planned tender status is planning. Businesses should treat the dates as indicative expectations rather than tender deadlines. This will suit construction and civil engineering contractors with experience in public-realm regeneration, footpath or highway resurfacing, street furniture installation, and green and blue infrastructure. Suppliers will need the capability to coordinate these elements as one town-centre works package and to manage delivery over a substantial contract period. The council has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises are suitable, so the requirement is intended to be accessible beyond only the largest contractors. Businesses preparing for the market should consider how they would demonstrate relevant streetscape and regeneration experience, site management, construction capacity, quality and safety controls, and the ability to work in an active town-centre environment. The planned engagement will also explain the tender process and social value expectations, giving prospective suppliers an opportunity to raise questions before the tender is issued. ## Notice Luton Council are seeking a contractor to that will look at resurfacing the George Street including proposed street furniture and associated green and blue infrastructure. The aim of this project is to regenerate the outdated space and regenerate the area as part of the ongoing Town center regeneration works. ### Planning Information Luton Council will shortly be going to market to award a contractor to resurface George Street including proposed street furniture and associated green and blue infrastructure in Luton and would like to invite you to attend a Preliminary Market Engagement prior to publishing this tender on 16th September 2026 10am.
