Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North East Derbyshire District Council procured improvement works for the Longcroft Close play area. The requirement covers removing old play equipment, installing new playground equipment and renewing the safety surfacing. This is a works contract involving both playground installation and construction activity, rather than a supply-only purchase. The named buying organisation is North East Derbyshire District Council, operating through its e-tendering system. The work is associated with Longcroft Close, although the published location information also lists the United Kingdom and wider geographic categories. The procurement is relevant to contractors and specialist play-area companies able to deliver equipment removal, installation and safety-surfacing renewal as a combined project.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 3 July 2026 at 12:00. Wicksteed Leisure Ltd was awarded the contract on 22 July 2026 for £50,792.05 excluding any unspecified tax treatment. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 26 October 2026. The award covers the complete play-area improvement requirement rather than separately identified lots. The published outcome records an active award to Wicksteed Leisure Ltd. The council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The requirement was evaluated through the open tender process, with no detailed award criteria stated in the available procurement information.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from North East Derbyshire District Council for integrated play-area renewal: removal of obsolete equipment, installation of new playground equipment and replacement or renewal of safety surfacing. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would combine playground design or installation capability with practical construction and surfacing capacity, and would be able to manage a short, concentrated works programme. Credible competitors should be able to demonstrate relevant completed play-area projects, safe removal and installation methods, competent site management and reliable coordination of equipment and surfacing activities. The council’s classification of the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs indicates that comparable future work may favour suppliers with sufficient resources to deliver the whole requirement.
