Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Penns Field Play Area project, initiated by Petersfield Town Council, aims to re-establish a well-used play area at Penns Place. This initiative falls under the industry category of playground equipment, focusing on designing a multi-purpose, climate-friendly play space that caters to all childhood ages. The project is located in Petersfield, England, with the postal code GU314EX. The procurement stage is updated with the award status, with the tender period having concluded on 24 January 2025 and the contract running from 1 March 2025 to 31 May 2025. The competitive quotation procurement method, designed for contracts below the threshold, seeks contributions from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) but excludes voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in playground equipment and creative design solutions. The project encourages innovative concepts beyond traditional play equipment, including outdoor instruments and shaded spaces. Business growth can be fostered by expanding the portfolio with bespoke and environmentally friendly designs that enhance public spaces. Firms experienced in creating accessible and themed environments that engage diverse age groups will find this project particularly aligned with their capabilities. With Petersfield Town Council as the buyer, businesses have the chance to collaborate with a trusted local authority, possibly leading to future partnerships and projects in community recreation development.

Notice Title

Penns Field Play Area

Notice Description

Penns Place has several sports pitches and a leisure centre and had, up until recently, a play area. The play area was well used by visiting families and now needs to be re-established. The brief provides examples of play equipment that the Town Council would like to introduce but the end result is not limited to the kind of play equipment shown. Outdoor music or percussion instruments could also be considered, as well as alternative accessible and general equipment to the examples listed. Shaded areas should also be considered. There is only the one document for this contract - the brief, and contractors are invited to submit their thoughts on how this may be designed in the area designated. We are happy to arrange visits to the designated area, and it is worth noting that the play area may need to be moved in 5 years time to make way for an extension to the Taro Leisure Centre should this go ahead. We are looking for a multi-purpose, well designed, themed and climate friendly play area that can support all childhood ages.
