Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured the supply, installation and repair of playground equipment at Ashton Park. The work is a public-space playground improvement project, classified as construction work (CPV 45000000). The scope covers providing equipment, installing it and carrying out repairs; the procurement description says it was funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The recorded delivery location is England, and the named site is Ashton Park. This is a works requirement for suppliers able to deliver playground equipment and associated installation and repair for the council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open competitive quotation process. Nottingham City Council selected Horizon Landscapes Ltd. The award date was 5 December 2025, and the awarded value was £95,532.12. The contract period runs from 1 April to 4 May 2026. The original submission deadline was 1 December 2025 at 12:00. The requirement was presented as a single project at Ashton Park, with no separate lots described. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable participants. The award information does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or technical evaluation criteria.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is a concrete example of Nottingham City Council buying playground equipment supply, installation and repair as a combined park improvement project. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to source appropriate play equipment, manage installation on a public site and provide repair capability, with the ability to deliver a complete works package. The council used an open competitive quotation route, so suppliers should be prepared to compete on a clearly scoped quotation rather than rely on a direct appointment. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that the requirement was not restricted to large businesses. Relevant experience in playground or park equipment projects and practical delivery capacity would help establish credibility, though no specific accreditation or experience threshold is stated.
