Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council, located in Grantham, UK, has concluded the procurement process for the project titled "SKDC-1543 PROVISION OF A SKATE PARK" with the awarding of a contract. The procurement, facilitated through an open competition method below threshold, centred around public works for a new skate park designed for diverse skill levels and sports including skateboarding, BMX biking, scooting, and rollerblading. Welland Procurement served as the procuring entity. The contract was signed on 23 September 2025 with works expected to conclude by 5 December 2025. The primary site for the skate park development is within the UKF30 region, aligning with the region's initiative to enhance recreational infrastructure.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in park and playground equipment, as well as those experienced in site preparation and construction within the recreational sector. The project prioritises high-quality, sustainable construction techniques with a focus on inclusivity and safety for a range of ages and abilities. Suitable candidates for such contracts would be small to medium enterprises (SMEs), as evidenced by the successful award to Safeplay Playground Services Ltd, an SME known for their expertise in this industry. Enterprises possessing the capacity to deliver high-standard installations at competitive prices would be particularly well-positioned to benefit from such tenders.
