Summary of the contracting process

BHCC City Parks, part of Brighton & Hove City Council, procured playground design, equipment, materials, installation and associated works for The Level Play Area in Brighton. The requirement covers the complete delivery of a play area, including playground equipment such as swings, slides, climbing apparatus, seesaws and merry-go-rounds, together with landscaping and safety surfacing. It is primarily a works contract, combining specialist playground manufacture or supply with site installation, landscaping and safety-related construction. The delivery location is The Level Play Area, Brighton, with the recorded address at BN1 1JE. The buyer sought a play specialist able to deliver the equipment and associated site works in accordance with its service specification.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The tender deadline was 19 February 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 1 June 2026 to Proludic Ltd for £300,000 excluding any stated tax treatment. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028. The recorded procurement method is described as “Other”. The award is active. The opportunity was treated as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. It covered one requirement rather than separately reported lots. The award concerns the full playground design, supply, delivery, installation, landscaping and safety-surface scope at The Level Play Area.

This requirement shows demand from BHCC City Parks for a single specialist supplier capable of taking responsibility for a complete public playground project. A credible competitor would need expertise in playground design, supply and installation, with the capacity to provide a broad equipment range including swings, slides, climbing structures, seesaws and merry-go-rounds. It would also need practical capability in playground landscaping and safety surfacing, and the resources to coordinate equipment, materials, delivery and site works against a council service specification. The scale and combined scope favour established playground contractors or manufacturers with substantial delivery capacity, installation teams and relevant experience of integrated outdoor play-area projects.
