Summary of the contracting process

Islington Council commissioned refurbishment works at Hayward Adventure Playground in London. The requirement is for a main contractor to refurbish the playground; the procurement is classified as construction work. The council is the buyer, and the work is at the playground in Islington. The stated scope identifies the playground refurbishment but does not break down particular construction tasks or materials. The contract was awarded to a building and decorating contractor, indicating the type of supplier selected for this project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Grenville Building & Decorating Contractors Limited on 31 July 2026. The award value is £354,000. The contract period runs from 1 September to 1 December 2026. The council used a selective process described as competitive dialogue. The tender submission deadline was 26 June 2026. The procurement was treated as works and marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The evaluation is complete; the available process information does not state the evaluation criteria or identify separate lots.

This award shows that Islington Council buys playground refurbishment through a competitive dialogue process and selected a building and decorating contractor for the work. Firms with relevant experience delivering refurbishment as a main contractor, and the capacity to complete a defined playground project, are the closest fit for similar council requirements. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, so smaller contractors were within the intended supplier market. A credible competitor would be able to demonstrate delivery capability for construction and refurbishment work of this kind and to engage in dialogue with the council during a competitive procurement. The award provides a direct example of the buyer’s demand and the type of contractor it selected; it does not establish that other playground projects will have identical scope or requirements.
