Summary of the contracting process

New Milton Town Council has initiated an open tender process for a project titled "Long Meadow Play Area Upgrade Barton on Sea Hampshire." This procurement opportunity is under the industry categories of construction work and recreational, cultural and sporting services. Located in New Milton, Hampshire, in the United Kingdom, the tender process is currently at the tender update stage. Interested parties are expected to submit their bids by the revised deadline of 22nd September 2025, with an enquiry period open until 31st August 2025. The overall value of the contract is estimated at £90,000 net, and £108,000 gross, with works planned to start on 1st November 2025 and conclude by 31st January 2026. This process follows an open competition procurement method below the threshold, allowing a wide range of firms to participate.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in construction and playground design. The project involves the demolition of the current timber play area and the construction of a new play environment, inclusive of groundworks and safety surfacing. Businesses with expertise in design and up-to-date knowledge of play equipment standards are well-suited to this project. A visit to the site is recommended to understand the existing conditions and propose an appealing and cost-effective solution. The tender evaluation will reward those offering the best overall value, encouraging competitive yet feasible pricing strategies. Firms capable of managing additional contract options in case of identified extra works, or delays due to circumstances like weather, will find this project aligns well with their operational capabilities.
