Summary of the contracting process

Edenbridge Town Council has initiated a procurement process for the redevelopment of the Children's Playground at Marsh Green, located off Marsh Green Road, Edenbridge, England. This procurement, classified under the "Playground equipment" industry category, aims to refurbish the play area to cater to children aged 0-8 years with inclusive and accessible play options. The process is at the tender amendment stage and follows an open procurement method under the "Open procedure (below threshold)" guidelines. The tender documents were published on 30th March 2026, with the tender period concluding on 29th May 2026. The contract is scheduled to start on 6th July 2026 and end on 28th August 2026. The project's budget is set between £50,000 and £70,000.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in playground equipment and development to expand their marketplace footprint. The focus on inclusive, sensory play equipment is particularly suitable for companies with innovative solutions that support accessibility and cater to younger audiences. Given the smaller scale contract value, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-placed to compete. Involvement in this project would not only enhance a company's portfolio but also contribute to community development in Edenbridge by providing families with a modern and exciting play area.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Children's Playground, Marsh Green, Edenbridge

Notice Description

Marsh Green playground is in a public open space located off Marsh Green Road. The current play area is limited in what it offers with only two pieces of equipment providing swings and a slide and has gone beyond its life span. The current marked play area is mostly grassed with the equipment sat on a mulch surface. Edenbridge Town Council is looking to redevelop the existing playground area, creating a new toddler and younger years play area. This will include the removal of the existing swings and slide, the installation of the new equipment, and the installation of appropriate safety surfacing. Project Brief: To refurbish and upgrade the play area at Marsh Green, to create an exciting play area which challenges children aged between 0-8. Play equipment should encourage inclusive play and allow for accessibility and sensory play. There are two items of play equipment which are outdated and will need to be removed to make way to create a modern, inclusive, and attractive play area for the range of children's ages and abilities. There is some flexibility in adjusting the play area boundary. The facilities will provide a much-needed alternative play area for families in Marsh Green and Edenbridge, and for children who attend the pre-school nearby. Total budget range is up to a maximum of PS70,000. Tender documents are available upon request.
