UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Braintree District Council has completed a procurement process for the "Playground, Gym & Urban Play Framework," which focuses on the supply, installation, and maintenance of playground equipment, gym, and outdoor leisure facilities across the UK. Contracts under this framework are set to run from 12 January 2026 to 11 January 2030, providing opportunities for public authorities to engage in further competitions for their specific needs. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, with lots covering Playground and Gym Equipment, Outdoor Leisure Play Equipment, Splash Parks, and Urban Play Equipment. The total gross value of the contracts awarded is approximately £4.8 million. The agreements involve multiple suppliers, including Eibe Play Ltd, HAGS SMP Ltd, KOMPAN Ltd, and many others, who have expertise in delivering high-quality recreational infrastructure.

This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing, supply, and maintenance of recreational and sports equipment. Companies with strong competitive offers in these areas, especially those capable of delivering innovative, safe, and durable products, will find ample growth opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged, given their flexibility and bespoke offerings, to engage in mini-competitions under this framework and expand their market presence by catering to local authorities and other public sector organisations throughout the UK.
