Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council led a procurement process titled "Kingswood Park - Healthy Play Programme," focusing on child daycare services within the Forest School framework for Kingswood Park. This procurement falls under the services category and utilises a limited competition method, indicating a below-threshold procurement. The contract, valued grossly at GBP 29,340, was awarded to Mud Pie Explorers CIC, reflecting a commitment to local development within Bristol's UKK12 region. Notable stages include the awarding on the 18th June 2025, with the contract’s active period designed to run until 28th February 2027. It exemplifies sub-central government activity within the public authority sphere. The procurement has been completed, providing key opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) interested in similar service-oriented opportunities.

This tender offers considerable potential for business growth, particularly for SMEs specialising in educational resources, child development programmes, and nature-oriented activities. As Mud Pie Explorers CIC exemplifies the successful acquisition of contract work, companies with expertise in child-centric services and community engagement practices are well-suited to compete in this domain. The initiative forms part of South Gloucestershire Council’s broader strategy to enhance educational and play resources at Kingswood Park, establishing a collaborative environment for innovators in childhood development and resource provision. Engaging in such contracts provides businesses an opportunity to expand their reach and impact in the public sector, fostering growth through civic partnerships and expanding their operational footprint within the United Kingdom.
