Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process led by Cheshire West and Chester Council focused on the "Tarporley CC Play Area" project, involving landscape, access, and play area improvements. This project, categorised under the works industry and specifically flatwork for children's play areas, has been awarded to Ground Inc Ltd. The contract runs from 1st September 2025 to 20th November 2025, with a total gross value of £238,800. The procurement was conducted through a 'below threshold' process, and it is now in the contract stage with both the award and contract statuses marked as active. The outcomes of this process are directed at the Tarporley Community Centre in the United Kingdom, falling within the UKD region.

This opportunity presents considerable growth prospects for companies in the construction and landscaping sectors, particularly those specialising in play area development and related infrastructure. Large enterprises such as Ground Inc Ltd, who won the contract, exemplify the type of businesses well-suited to such projects. With a focus on regional community enhancements, similar businesses that can offer innovative and high-quality service delivery within specified budgets and timelines may find ample opportunities in responding to similar tenders issued by sub-central government authorities. Such contracts not only augment company portfolios but also establish valuable relationships with local councils for future endeavours.
