Summary of the contracting process

This works contract covers landscape improvements at Albert Street Play Area in the East Midlands. The scope includes clearing the site, hard landscaping, installing play equipment and completing soft landscaping. It is a site-preparation and recreational-area landscaping requirement, including playground landscaping (CPV 45100000 and 45112723). The procurement description identifies Ashfield District Council as seeking the works, while Nottinghamshire County Council is recorded as the buyer. The requirement was for one contractor to deliver the complete package rather than separate goods or services. It is relevant to contractors with practical experience in play-area construction, landscaping, ground preparation and the installation of outdoor play equipment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 26 May 2026 at 12:00. Nottinghamshire County Council awarded the contract to N T Killingley Ltd on 2 July 2026 for £138,426. The contract period runs from 19 August 2026 to 2 October 2026. The procurement was identified as works and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The successful supplier is recorded as an active award recipient, and the contract covers the full Albert Street Play Area improvement requirement. The award information does not set out separate lots or a stated evaluation weighting.

This award provides a clear benchmark for contractors targeting public play-area and recreational landscaping work in the East Midlands. A credible competitor would need to combine site clearance, ground and hard landscaping, soft landscaping, and the safe installation of play equipment within one delivery team. Experience coordinating works in public outdoor spaces would support a strong future proposition, alongside the ability to manage site preparation, equipment installation and finishing works as an integrated package. The requirement was suitable for an SME, indicating that a specialist small or medium-sized contractor with the relevant workforce, equipment, project management and completed play-area references could compete without needing to be a large national business.
