The scheme will remove the existing roundabout and replace it with two mini-roundabouts, install a zebra crossing, widen narrow footpaths, increase a junction radius, improve crossing facilities, add dropped kerbs and upgrade footway surfaces. The purpose is to make walking and cycling easier and safer, improve links for school pupils and connect residential areas west of the town with the town centre. The works are in Denbigh, Denbighshire. The council invited offers through an open competition. The procurement is at the tender stage. The deadline for questions was 11 November 2026 at 12:00, and the bid deadline set by the buyer is 18 November 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period is 4 January to 26 April 2027. The estimated value is £480,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). The work is offered as a single lot. Evaluation gives quality a 70% weighting and price 30%. Electronic submission is allowed, and an electronic auction is indicated as part of the process. This opportunity is suited to civil engineering and highway contractors able to deliver coordinated road-layout and pedestrian-infrastructure works in a town setting. Relevant experience would include roundabout construction or alteration, footway widening and surfacing, junction modifications, zebra crossings, dropped kerbs and accessible crossing improvements. The project combines carriageway and pedestrian works, with the practical challenge of improving movement through an established market town while creating safer routes for pupils and people travelling between residential areas and the centre. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to compete. Quality carries substantially more evaluation weight than price, so suppliers should be ready to demonstrate the quality and capability of their proposed delivery. ## Notice Denbighshire County Council wishes to appoint a contractor for a scheme in Denbigh that will upgrade the Pwll y Grawys area of the town, improving and extending existing footpaths to enhance active travel connectivity, journey quality, and ease of movement for pedestrians and cyclists. The proposed upgrade measures include removing the existing roundabout and replacing it with two mini-roundabouts, installing a zebra crossing, widening sections of existing narrow paths, increasing the junction radius, improving crossing facilities, introducing dropped kerbs, and enhancing the quality of the footways. The aim of these improvements is to develop active travel links--specifically for school pupils and those seeking access to the town centre from residential areas to the west of the town--and to encourage walking and cycling as modes of travel within the town and beyond. Denbigh is a traditional market town that attracts tourism thanks to its medieval history and castle. It is located in the heart of Denbighshire. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/102071-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 18 Nov 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jan 2027 - 26 Apr 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £480,000 | | Lots value | £480,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Denbighshire County Council | | Locality | RUTHIN | | Postcode area | Llandudno | | Postcode | LL15 1YN | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL3 North Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL33 Conwy and Denbighshire | | Local authority | Denbighshire | | Electoral ward | Ruthin | | Westminster constituency | Clwyd East | | Delivery location | TLL13 Conwy and Denbighshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45200000 - Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work - 45233100 - Construction work for highways, roads - 45233130 - Construction work for highways - 45233210 - Surface work for highways - 71311220 - Highways engineering services ## Release History - 28 Oct 2026 at 13:20 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/102071-2026 - 27 Oct 2026 at 14:21 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/101602-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/102071-2026 28th October 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/101602-2026 27th October 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com - https://www.denbighshire.gov.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
