Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Princes Risborough Town Council is procuring works to replace an existing timber multi-play playground unit on a like-for-like basis and renew the associated safety surfacing. The requirement is classified as playground equipment but is primarily a construction and installation project. The work will be delivered in Princes Risborough, England, within the HP27 9JF area. The purpose is to address issues identified in a risk assessment by replacing the playground unit and surfacing. Businesses should therefore consider this opportunity if they supply, install or replace timber multi-play equipment and can also deliver compliant playground surfacing as part of the same works package. The council is the buying organisation for the requirement.

The process has reached tender: the council invited suppliers to submit offers through an accelerated open procedure, described as an above-threshold open procedure. Acceleration is justified by risk-assessment findings requiring urgent replacement of the unit and surfacing. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 10 September 2026 at 00:00 British Summer Time. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 30 November 2026, ending at 23:59:59 UTC. Its estimated value is between £25,000 and £30,000, inclusive of the stated minimum and maximum estimates. The procurement is categorised as works and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits playground specialists, landscape contractors and civil engineering or installation firms with experience delivering public or commercial play areas. Suppliers need the practical capability to remove and replace a timber multi-play unit, install a like-for-like replacement and renew playground surfacing safely and to the required standard. Relevant experience should include coordinating equipment installation with groundworks and surfacing, managing site risks and completing works in a short delivery window. Firms with established supply chains for timber play equipment, specialist surfacing materials and associated installation services are well placed. The requirement is expressly suitable for SMEs, so smaller contractors with the necessary technical competence, workforce and project-management capacity may be able to compete directly.
