Summary of the contracting process

Bromsgrove District Council procured refurbishment works for the Kinver Drive play area in Hagley, covering outdoor playground, fitness and sports facilities and equipment. The requirement includes playground equipment work and associated repair and maintenance services. The main category is construction and refurbishment work rather than the supply of standalone equipment. Delivery is in Hagley, England. The council is the buyer and will use the refurbished facility for local community recreation. The scope is relevant to contractors specialising in play areas, public realm improvements, recreational facilities, playground equipment installation or refurbishment, and maintenance of outdoor leisure assets. It may also suit firms that combine equipment supply with site works and ongoing repairs.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Bromsgrove District Council made a direct award under ESPO Framework 115_25 to Wicksteed Leisure Ltd. The award date was 4 August 2026, for £30,000 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 4 August 2027. The tender deadline was 4 August 2026 at 23:59. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. There were no lots or separate award values recorded. The selected supplier is Wicksteed Leisure Ltd. The procurement covers works, with the award made through the framework’s direct-award route.

This award confirms Bromsgrove District Council’s demand for specialist refurbishment of public play areas, including playground equipment and related outdoor fitness and sports facilities. A credible competitor for similar council requirements would need practical experience delivering play-area refurbishment and repair, together with the ability to manage equipment-related works in a public setting. Relevant capability includes surveying existing play assets, planning safe upgrades, supplying or installing suitable equipment, completing associated site works, and providing maintenance support. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that a business of this scale can meet the buyer’s requirement. Suppliers familiar with ESPO Framework 115_25 and its direct-award route would also understand the purchasing channel used for this requirement.
