Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ipswich Borough Council procured outdoor playground, fitness and sports facilities and equipment for delivery in the East of England. The requirement covered playground equipment, including equipment intended for outdoor recreational, fitness and sporting use. It was a goods procurement rather than a construction or service contract. The buyer was Ipswich Borough Council, based in Ipswich, Suffolk. The named requirement, Fenn Bright Circle – play equipment, indicates a specific equipment installation or improvement project, although the published scope identifies the purchase at category level rather than listing individual products, sites or technical specifications. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are suppliers of outdoor play equipment and associated fitness or sports equipment for public-sector use.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Ipswich Borough Council set an estimated value of £148,617, with bids due by 15 June 2026 at 11:00. The contract was awarded to Kompan Limited on 1 July 2026 for £123,848. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as goods and records the award outcome, supplier and contract dates. The process was conducted through an existing framework rather than as an open standalone tender, so competition was between framework suppliers meeting the applicable requirements.

This award is commercially relevant to established suppliers able to provide outdoor playground equipment alongside fitness and sports facilities or equipment for a local authority. The successful supplier was a large organisation, and the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that future competition for the same requirement is likely to favour businesses with substantial delivery capacity and public-sector framework access. Credible competitors would need a product range covering play, fitness and sports settings, the operational capacity to supply the required equipment, and experience of working through framework call-offs. Manufacturers, specialist distributors and suppliers with the ability to support a council-led outdoor facilities project are the closest fit.
