Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Ribble Borough Council procured a design-and-build contract for the Astley Park play area in Chorley. The works cover a public playground development, including the design and provision of park and playground equipment, with associated construction and installation. The requirement is classified as park and playground equipment and falls within the works category. Delivery is at Astley Park, Chorley. The procurement description links the requirement to the ESPO Outdoor Playground, Fitness and Sports Facilities and Equipment framework, covering design, supply, delivery, installation, maintenance and inspection. This is therefore relevant to playground designers, specialist equipment manufacturers, landscape and construction contractors, and firms able to deliver an integrated play-area project for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from the ESPO Framework 115_25, Lot 2. The tender submission deadline was 15 June 2026 at 12:00. South Ribble Borough Council awarded the contract to Jupiter Play & Leisure Ltd on 15 July 2026 for £299,187 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 23 September 2026. The recorded tender estimate and awarded value are both £299,187. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is Jupiter Play & Leisure Ltd. The procurement concerns a single Astley Park play-area requirement rather than separately reported lots or multiple awards.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a local-authority requirement for a specialist, integrated play-area delivery service in Chorley. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to combine playground design with the supply and delivery of suitable equipment, site installation and associated construction capability. Experience of delivering public outdoor play, fitness or sports facilities would be relevant, as would the ability to manage inspection and maintenance requirements where these form part of the service. The buyer used a framework call-off, so businesses seeking similar work should understand the relevant ESPO framework route and its Lot 2 scope. The requirement was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that a capable specialist or suitably structured small business could compete through that route.
