Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington is procuring playground improvement works for a sandpit area in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers playground equipment and associated installation services, including a concept design and layout, site assessment where needed, safety surfacing, foundations, groundworks, edging and reinstatement. The successful contractor will supply and install replacement equipment, remove and dispose of existing equipment where applicable, and provide certification, warranties and operation and maintenance information on completion. Equipment must not be made from wood. The intended users are children aged 5 to 12. Proposals should support inclusive play and provide accessible opportunities where practical, while meeting current UK safety standards and relevant legislation. The procurement is categorised as repair and maintenance services.

This procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective restricted procedure above threshold. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 5 October 2026 at 06:38. The contract period is 1 to 30 November 2026. The stated budget is £40,000. Bidders are expected to address the specified age range, inclusive and accessible play, non-wood equipment, safety surfacing, site and construction works, disposal of replaced equipment, and compliance with UK safety standards and legislation. The scope also requires completion documentation, including certification, warranties and operation and maintenance information. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Offers should therefore demonstrate a complete, compliant delivery solution covering design, supply, installation and associated works.

This opportunity suits playground manufacturers, specialist play contractors and installation firms able to deliver a complete improvement package rather than equipment supply alone. Suitable suppliers will need design capability for a concept layout, practical experience of assessing and working within existing sandpit or play areas, and the capacity to manage foundations, groundworks, edging, reinstatement and safety surfacing. Experience designing for children aged 5 to 12, inclusive play and accessibility will be relevant. Suppliers should be able to provide non-wood equipment and coordinate removal and disposal of existing items where required. Strong candidates will have demonstrable knowledge of current UK playground safety standards and relevant legislation, with systems for supplying completion certification, warranties and clear operation and maintenance information.
