Summary of the contracting process

Cainscross Town Council has initiated a procurement process for the refurbishment of the Elm Road Play Area located in Stroud, with a primary focus on playground equipment. The industry category falls under playground equipment and landscaping work for playgrounds. The procurement method is an open procedure that was below the threshold, with a tender status being marked as complete after the contract award. Key dates include the publication date on 6th February 2025, the tender period closure on 19th March 2025, and the contract award dated 2nd April 2025. The project, valued at £44,780, is scheduled to start on 19th May 2025 and conclude on 14th June 2025. The procurement stage has moved from tender to award, culminating with the contract being granted to Wicksteed Leisure Ltd.

Engaging in this project can spur business growth by opening avenues in local community projects, promoting safety and innovation in play areas amidst residential settings. Enterprises skilled in providing versatile, safe, and attractive play solutions will find this opportunity particularly fitting while fostering relationships with local government for future projects. Such contracts offer businesses a platform to showcase their expertise in creating accessible and engaging environments for young children up to 11 years of age.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Refurbishment of Elm Road Play Area

Notice Description

Cainscross Town Council is looking to refurbish a small, enclosed play area at Elm Road Playing Field in Stroud. This is a residential area with housing close by. The site is owned by the council and the footprint of the play area will remain the same. There are no services at the site. Most of the play items and safety surfacing need replacing with new due to age and vandalism. We will consider the refurbishment of items where that makes sense, and would also like to consider re-siting one item - still in good condition - to another area of the playing field. Our objective is to create a safe, challenging and engaging play area for children up to 11 years of age. We want it to offer a varied play experience, to maximise use of the space, be as accessible as possible and fit sympathetically within the area. The specification in our tender document indicates how we think our objectives can be met, but we welcome other ideas around equipment and design. Interested contractors should read our tender document for how to apply, they must email us to confirm an intention to respond and they must visit the site. A completed tender response form must be emailed by the closing date specified along with any supporting documentation. Additional information: Please follow the instructions in the Invitation to Tender PDF document and complete the Tender Response Form Word document. Supporting evidence can be supplied in clearly labelled appendices.
