Summary of the contracting process

Ashford Borough Council has concluded a selective tender process for the "Play Schemes and Play Equipment" project, focusing on the repair and maintenance services of playground equipment, classified under CPV code 50870000. This procurement, completed under a framework agreement, falls within the 'works' industry category. The project is valued at £65,357.69 and is set to be conducted in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The tender process, which ended on 7th November 2025, has reached the award stage, with the contract running from 5th January 2026 to 5th January 2029. The awarded supplier is KOMPAN Ltd, with the award announced on 8th January 2026.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in playground equipment maintenance and repair. Given that Ashford Borough Council has opted for a selective procurement method within a framework agreement, the process is tailored for established businesses capable of delivering specialised maintenance services. This opportunity suits businesses that have previously been part of procurement frameworks and can provide competitive, high-quality services. Being a clear demonstration of active local government investment in community infrastructure, SMEs in the South East region with expertise in this niche stand to benefit significantly.
