Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has completed the procurement process for the refurbishment of play spaces in the Three Towns AAP area. The project falls under the industry category of "Roundabouts, swings, shooting galleries and other fairground amusements" (CPV code 37535000). The contract was awarded to Wicksteed Leisure Ltd, a large supplier based in Kettering, Northamptonshire. The contract period will run from 10th September 2024 to 9th March 2025, with the total value of the awarded contract being £112,072. Key deadlines include the tender period ending on 7th June 2024, and the award of the contract was finalised on 9th September 2024.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the construction and refurbishment of recreational spaces. Although it has already been awarded to a large company, similar future opportunities may arise, providing avenues for growth for businesses in the construction, landscaping, and playground equipment sectors. Companies with the ability to deliver high-quality, durable recreational facilities and those looking to establish or expand their footprint in public sector works would be well-suited to compete for similar tenders. SMEs and VCSEs should note that this specific opportunity was not marked for their suitability, indicating the scale and capacity required for the project.
