The contract involves the provision of outdoor sports equipment designed to cater to a full range of users at Swanage skatepark, which is located in Swanage, UK. The procurement method utilised was below threshold - open competition within the "goods" industry category, ensuring a competitive process. The contract commenced on 1st October 2025 and concluded on 31st January 2026, with a total value of £75,000. Key deadlines during the tender phase included the enquiry period ending on 5th May 2025 and the tender submission deadline on 12th May 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in outdoor sports equipment, modular construction, or skatepark design and installation.

This contract is particularly favourable for SMEs, as evidenced by the supplier awarded, Pete King, who fits within this category. The project offers prospects for business growth through community engagement and collaboration with local charity groups, such as the Swanage Skatepark Community Project, offering a platform to establish a strong local presence and long-term working relationships within the public sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Tender for the design, supply and installation of new skatepark equipment within Swanage skatepark/wheeled sports area

Notice Description

Swanage Town Council seeks submissions for the design, supply and installation of new skatepark ramps and rideable features that are suited to a full range of users from beginners to advanced. This will accompany existing equipment and will form phase one of a two or three-phase project to enhance the wheeled sports park. It is necessary that the new equipment successfully functions alone, in conjunction with the existing ramps and a complete future build. To achieve this it is expected the build will be modular in form and use the same materials as the existing ramps (skatelite and steel frames with open sides). It is essential that a high-quality wheeled sports park is delivered that will have a feeling of flow; fun, stimulation, challenge and excitement for users. A mix of rideable features that accommodate all ages, abilities, and wheeled sports is anticipated. Meeting the needs of the multi-generational users of Swanage Skatepark, particularly the local young people is a fundamental requirement. Swanage Town Council is working in partnership with Swanage Skatepark Community Project (SSCP), a group of skatepark users who formed a registered charity under the umbrella of Swanage and Purbeck Development Trust in December 2023. Extensive community engagement has already been undertaken by SSCP and the successful contractor will be responsible for presenting their design to the local community including SSCP and then finalising the design and safely delivering the construction, installation and handover stages of the project. It is a requirement that the new equipment is installed and opened for use by the public in autumn of 2025. Given the location of the facility and the nature of Swanage as a tourist destination, on site works will not be permitted in the main summer season of July and August. Conditions of participation relating to suppliers legal and financial capacity and technical ability to perform the contract are detailed within the tender documents.
