Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the redevelopment of The Bulwarks Play Area in Minchinhampton has been completed under the management of Minchinhampton Parish Council. This contract, classified under the CPV code 37535200 for playground equipment, was awarded following an open procurement method. The project is located in Minchinhampton, England, and focuses on designing and installing new playground facilities primarily for children aged 2 to 8 years. The tender stage concluded with the end of the tender period on 15 November 2024, and the contract is set to span from 25 November 2024 to 25 November 2025. The award status became active after the contract was officially awarded on 26 November 2024, with a project budget of £50,000 GBP.

This redevelopment project presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the playground equipment industry, particularly those with experience in low-maintenance solutions, to demonstrate their expertise and secure contracts with local councils. It is especially suited to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can meet the specific requirements of designing child-friendly, durable playgrounds. Such projects provide beneficial exposure and potential partnerships, which could be instrumental in expanding market reach within the community development and children's recreational facilities sectors.

Notice Title

The Bulwarks Play Area Re-Development

Notice Description

Minchinhampton Parish Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to design and install new playground equipment, surfacing and associated works at The Bulwarks Play Area. The site is a local playground for the immediate community, that caters primarily for younger children, up to the age of 8 years. This is complimented by the Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) adjacent to the site, for older children and young adults. With a fully funded budget, this is a project which recently follows the investment to upgrade Horsfall Play Area on the western side of Minchinhampton. The key objectives are to design a play area that caters specifically for the main age group (2-8 years), practical for carers, and with low maintenance of both surfacing and equipment over the long term. Download and review all documentation, and respond accordingly by the due date and time.
