The contract, awarded on 24th June 2025, involves a budget of £2,500,000, managed through an open procurement method. The geographical focus is Cheshire East and surrounding areas (UKD62), with a framework agreement offering three years of supply stability, commencing on 21st June 2025 and ending on 20th June 2028, with a potential two-year extension. The procurement stage is currently completed with details specified for the supply and/or installation of play equipment.

This tender represents a robust opportunity for businesses specialising in play equipment supply and installation to expand their market presence in the UK, particularly within Cheshire East.

Participating businesses can benefit from a long-term commitment, enhancing their credibility and securing work under the framework agreement with Ansa Environmental Services Limited acting as a key buyer. Large organisations such as Dragon Play and Sports, Eibe Play Limited, Kompan Limited, Sutcliffe Play limited, and Wicksteed Leisure have already been selected as suppliers, illustrating the competitive nature of this lucrative market opportunity.
