Summary of the contracting process

Wigan Council has completed the procurement process for the "Ashfield Park Junior Area Play Enhancements" project, an initiative focused on upgrading the junior play area at Ashfield Park in Standish. The procurement was conducted via an open competition method classified as "Below threshold." The process comprised design, supply, and installation works within the public authority sub-central government category. This tender involved both decommissioning the existing play area and constructing a new facility adjacent to the toddler area, while integrating necessary groundwork, safety surfacing, and landscaping. The award was finalised on 3rd July 2025, with the contract active until 31st October 2025 and a total project budget of £175,000, eventually valued at £210,000 gross.

This contract presents significant growth potential for suppliers in the playground equipment and landscaping sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in park and playground equipment, landscaping for playgrounds, and children's play area construction will find such tenders robust opportunities to expand their portfolio within public sector projects. The winner of this tender was HAGS-SMP LIMITED, a company known for their expertise in similar works, suggesting that business entities with a strong background in quality and cost-effective play area solutions are well-suited to compete for future similar procurements.
