## Summary

Hertsmere Borough Council is procuring works to refurbish and extend the skatepark at Aberford Park in Borehamwood. The project is intended to make the facility suitable for a wider range of abilities: the existing skatepark is unsuitable for beginners, and the council wants lower, more achievable ramps alongside larger, more challenging features. The design should provide varied routes for different abilities, changes in elevation and smooth surfaces. This is construction work for a leisure and sports facility. The work will be delivered at Aberford Park, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.

The council invited tenders through an open competition, and the procurement is at the tender stage. It is a single package, not divided into lots. Questions were due by 2 November 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 16 November 2026 at 12:00. The stated contract period runs from 1 February to 30 June 2027. The estimated value is £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT). Evaluation gives quality a 70% weighting and price 30%. Bids may be submitted electronically through the Supply Hertfordshire procurement portal.

This opportunity is suited to skatepark construction and refurbishment contractors able to deliver work in a public park, including the design or construction of ramps and varied riding routes for users with different abilities. Suppliers should be capable of balancing beginner-friendly, lower features with larger, more challenging elements, while delivering smooth surfaces and changes in elevation. The brief calls for an inclusive facility rather than a skatepark designed only for experienced users. Contractors with relevant leisure or sports facility construction experience, and the capacity to complete a refurbishment and extension within the stated programme, are likely to be well placed. The council assesses quality more heavily than price, so a strong delivery proposal addressing the range of abilities and the practical design requirements is important.
