Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured a play area and multi-sports goals for Cheviot Street Recreation Ground in Mackworth, Derby. The requirement is for playground equipment, including facilities for play and multi-sport use, at the named recreation ground. The procurement was managed by the Council and falls within the services category in the published classification. The location identifies a specific outdoor recreation site in Derby, rather than a borough-wide installation. The work therefore suits suppliers able to provide and install playground and multi-sports equipment for a local authority recreation ground.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Wicksteed Leisure Limited. The Council used a further competition under ESPO Framework 115_25, Lot 2, as a selective framework call-off. The award was made on 6 October 2026, at a value of £80,000. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated tender value was also £80,000. The submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The published information identifies the equipment requirement but gives no separate lot structure or evaluation criteria. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate; voluntary, community and social enterprises were not.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows Derby City Council’s demand for a defined package of recreation-ground play equipment and multi-sports goals, delivered through a further competition under an ESPO framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the ability to supply suitable playground and multi-sports equipment and deliver it at a named outdoor site within a local-authority contract. The successful supplier provides evidence that a large leisure-equipment company met the Council’s needs on this occasion; SME suitability indicates that smaller businesses were also considered appropriate to compete. Relevant experience in supplying comparable equipment and coordinating delivery and installation would help a supplier demonstrate fit with this buyer’s requirement.
