The network covers about 120 miles of bridleways and footpaths across private and public land, including farms, parks and housing estates. The work is construction and environmental maintenance delivered across North Tyneside. The council wants a professional partner to help protect and enhance this network. The requirement is presented as a single package, covering the network as a whole rather than separate geographical or service lots. The council invited offers through an open competition. The stated enquiry deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12:00, and the bid deadline was 25 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract was due to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with two discretionary 12-month extensions, allowing for a possible end date of 31 March 2031. The estimated value is £720,000 excluding VAT (£864,000 including VAT). The award is weighted 70% on quality and 30% on price. Electronic submission is permitted. This is one contract package, and the opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The work is suited to environmental services providers with experience maintaining and improving public rights of way and watercourses. Suppliers should be able to work across a substantial network spanning mixed public and private settings, including farms, parks and housing estates. The council seeks a qualified, competent and professional provider able to work in partnership with it to protect and enhance the asset. The quality-led evaluation makes the strength of the proposed delivery approach commercially important alongside price. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller firms may be well placed to compete, particularly those with the relevant environmental, maintenance and construction capabilities to deliver across the network. ## Notice Our PRoW Network consists of approximately 120 miles of Bridleways and Footpaths situated across private and public land including farms, parks and housing estates. In order to protect and enhance this asset we are seeking to work in partnership with an experienced, qualified, competent and professional environmental services provider to maintain and improve the network. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Two 12 Month Extensions available at the discretion of the Authority. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/102141-2026 | | 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 | 25 Nov 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Apr 2027 - 31 Mar 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £720,000 | | Lots value | £720,000 | | 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 | North Tyneside Council | | Locality | NORTH TYNESIDE | | Postcode area | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE27 0BY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | North Tyneside | | Electoral ward | Shiremoor | | Westminster constituency | Cramlington and Killingworth | | Delivery location | TLC22 Tyneside | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 28 Oct 2026 at 14:17 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/102141-2026 - 28 Oct 2026 at 14:07 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/102119-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/102141-2026 28th October 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/102119-2026 28th October 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.open-uk.org/opportunities/overview/public/2af3f1f0-6bd8-46a3-ae11-aa17be272bea https://www.open-uk.org/opportunities/overview/public/2af3f1f0-6bd8-46a3-ae11-aa17be272bea ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
