Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

BHCC City Parks commissioned an accessible destination play area at Stanmer Park in Brighton. The requirement covered the professional design, supply, delivery and installation of playground equipment, together with a maintenance, parts and repairs package. The main work is the creation and ongoing support of an inclusive public play facility, including equipment such as swings, slides, climbing apparatus, tunnels, seesaws and merry-go-rounds, alongside playground landscaping. The procurement was classified primarily as playground equipment (CPV 37535200), with related landscaping and park equipment classifications. Delivery is associated with Stanmer Park, Brighton, at the buyer’s address in Bartholomew Square, Brighton. BHCC City Parks is the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The tender closed on 30 January 2025 at 12:00 UTC. BHCC City Parks awarded the contract to Proludic Ltd on 17 November 2025 for £585,000. The awarded contract period runs from 17 November 2025 to 16 November 2026. It covers the full requirement for design, supply, delivery, installation, maintenance, parts and repairs. The procurement used a tender process, with the method recorded as “Other”. The published category was services, despite the requirement also covering playground equipment, landscaping and installation. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No separate lots or evaluation weighting are recorded.

This award provides a clear picture of the capability BHCC City Parks required for an accessible public play-area project. A credible competitor would need to design inclusive playground schemes, supply a broad range of play equipment, manage delivery and installation, and provide dependable maintenance, replacement parts and repairs. The requirement favours a supplier able to take responsibility for the complete lifecycle rather than a business offering only individual products or isolated installation services. Relevant experience would include delivering destination-scale public play facilities and coordinating equipment installation with playground landscaping. The buyer’s assessment marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that future competitors should be prepared to demonstrate substantial organisational capacity and integrated delivery.
