Summary of the contracting process

Radstock Town Council undertook a procurement process for the "Radstock playground equipment upgrade and surface works," focusing on enhancing the play facilities at Tom Huyton Park in Radstock, England. With the process now in the award stage, an active contract has been awarded to Wicksteed Leisure Ltd, with a contract value of £59,366. The procurement utilised an open procedure and included a tender period that concluded on 31st May 2023. The project specifically targets the upgrade of playground equipment, classified under the CPV code 37535200, and aims to maintain the park's status as a destination for families while offering a fresh and engaging play environment. The works are scheduled to run from 25th August 2023 to 1st November 2023, without necessitating the closure of the entire park.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the playground equipment and surfacing industry, especially those capable of supplying steal/metal equipment tailored to young children aged 6-10 years. Small and medium-sized enterprises are particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders, given the Council's openness to innovation and new potential ideas like the Multi-play and Bruge Units. Companies with expertise in public space refurbishment and compliance with necessary safety inspections, such as ROSPA, could find this project advantageous for developing a visible, community-focused portfolio.
