Summary of the contracting process

Winchcombe Town Council is procuring junior and teen play equipment for Winchcombe Park in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire. The requirement covers the design, supply and installation of the equipment, so it suits suppliers able to provide a complete play-area solution rather than equipment supply alone. The procurement is categorised as leisure equipment and falls within the goods category. The stated delivery location is Winchcombe Park, Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, postcode GL54 5GD. The council is the buyer and intends the equipment to serve younger children and teenagers. The requirement therefore combines product selection, design appropriate to the park setting, delivery and physical installation at the named site.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure described as below threshold. The tender invitation sets a submission deadline of 12 noon on 16 September 2026. The structured tender period records an end time of 12 noon on 18 October 2026, so bidders should check the tender specification and application documents for the controlling deadline. The estimated procurement value is £100,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract is planned to run from 1 January 2027 to 30 March 2027. The requirement is presented as a single procurement rather than divided lots. The published information does not set out an evaluation weighting.

This opportunity suits a specialist play-equipment contractor, manufacturer, landscape or public-realm installer, or a consortium able to combine these capabilities. Bidders need to be able to design junior and teen play facilities, supply suitable leisure equipment and install it at a public park. The work calls for practical delivery and installation capacity within the planned three-month contract period, together with the ability to coordinate a complete solution from design through on-site completion. Businesses with experience delivering play areas or similar outdoor recreational facilities for public-sector or community settings are likely to understand the operational demands, site coordination and end-user requirements involved. The stated suitability assessment does not identify the opportunity as aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
