Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council is procuring the supply and installation of replacement play equipment at Stansfield in the Rochdale borough, together with safety surfacing. The requirement is a practical site-based installation project intended to replace an existing play area. It is classified as construction work (CPV 45000000), although the procurement category is services. The delivery location is identified as Stansfield, Rochdale, with the postcode OL15 9QA. Businesses should therefore be able to provide both the play equipment and the associated safety surfacing, and carry out the installation at the specified site. The council is the buying organisation and will use the completed installation for a public play area.

The procurement has reached tender: Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council invited offers through an under-threshold open procedure. Bids were due by 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 26 September 2026 to 13 October 2026, giving a defined delivery and installation period. Its stated value is £77,000 including the published currency of pounds sterling. The opportunity is presented as a single replacement play-area requirement rather than being divided into lots. The tender information identifies the open procedure as the procurement method. The published description sets the core requirement as supplying and installing replacement play equipment with safety surfacing; the available procurement details do not set out a separate weighted evaluation basis.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises that supply outdoor play equipment and can also provide compliant safety surfacing and installation. It is relevant to play-area contractors, playground equipment manufacturers with installation teams, specialist surfacing firms able to deliver the equipment element, and construction businesses with the necessary specialist supply-chain capability. Suppliers will need to coordinate equipment supply, site installation and surfacing as one replacement project, rather than offering equipment alone. The work is compact and defined, making it potentially suitable for a smaller specialist contractor or a larger contractor seeking local public-sector installation work. The requirement is centred on practical delivery at a single play-area site in Stansfield, Rochdale.
