Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council procured construction works to create a dedicated outdoor play area at The Friars Primary in Salford. The work is described as external works, with construction of the play area as the stated purpose. The delivery postcode is M27 5AW. This is a school-site project for a local authority, rather than a general supply contract: relevant businesses are those able to deliver outdoor construction and play-area works at a primary school.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Landscape Engineering Ltd. The award was made on 7 October 2026, for £115,471.82. The contract period runs from 4 January to 26 February 2027. Salford City Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original tender deadline was 14 August 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information describes a single requirement and gives no separate lots. No evaluation criteria are set out in the available procurement details.

This award shows that Salford City Council buys discrete outdoor construction projects for school sites through framework call-offs, with a dedicated play area as the requirement. Landscape Engineering Ltd, a small or medium-sized supplier, was selected for work at this scale. A competitor aiming to meet a similar requirement for the council would need a credible capability in constructing external play spaces and delivering work on a primary-school site. Experience planning and carrying out a focused construction package within a short delivery programme would be relevant to the demonstrated requirement. The procurement provides evidence of demand for this specific type of school improvement, rather than broader construction services; suppliers should align their offer with outdoor play-area construction and the practical demands of working at a school.
