This procurement falls under the 'goods' category within the playground equipment industry and was conducted using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract is set to be executed in the North East region of the United Kingdom, with the delivery and implementation period beginning on 27th October 2025 and concluding on 26th October 2026. The award was officially made on 20th October 2025, with a contract value of £84,340, awarded to Wicksteed Leisure Limited, a small to medium enterprise (SME).
