Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington is procuring playground and sports equipment improvements for delivery in the United Kingdom, with the project based in Islington, London. The requirement covers playground improvements for children aged 5 to 12, including a concept design and layout, site assessment where required, supply and installation of play equipment, safety surfacing and accessible play features. The contractor must provide foundations, groundworks, edging and reinstatement, and remove and dispose of existing equipment where replacement is needed. Wooden play equipment must not be used. The work is classified as services, specifically repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000), although the practical requirement is a complete playground design, equipment supply and installation package.

This procurement has reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through a selective restricted procedure above threshold. The tender submission deadline was 5 October 2026 at 06:22. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 30 November 2026. The project budget is £110,000. Bids must address the specified requirements for the 5–12 age range, inclusive play, non-wooden equipment, safety surfacing, groundworks, removal works and compliance with current UK safety standards and relevant legislation. The successful contractor must also provide certification, warranties and operation and maintenance information on completion. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits playground designers, manufacturers, installers and specialist construction contractors able to deliver a complete improvement scheme rather than supplying equipment alone. Relevant capability includes assessing an existing site, producing a practical concept design, selecting equipment for children aged 5 to 12, and incorporating accessible and inclusive play. Suppliers need the capacity to manage equipment installation alongside foundations, groundworks, edging, safety surfacing, reinstatement and any required removal and disposal. Experience of delivering playground or sports-area projects, applying current UK safety standards and relevant legislation, and coordinating compliant installation will be important. Businesses should also be able to provide completion certification, warranties and clear operation and maintenance information.
