What is being bought

Published requirement description

This project aims to create a free, safe and welcoming pump track that gives children, young people and families in and around Pateley Bridge a high quality place to be active close to home. It is needed because there are very limited informal, low cost opportunities for young people to ride, play and socialise independently in this rural area, especially those who are not engaged in traditional sports or who face barriers linked to cost, travel and confidence.

Building construction work (CPV 4521) in Yorkshire and the Humber, and who usually turns up

Pateley Bridge Town Council has too little published record in this market to describe on its own. Published market evidence for the same work stands beside whatever it has. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: Building construction work (CPV 4521) →

About this data
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
  • Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
  • Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
  • Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
