Summary of the contracting process

Madeley Parish Council bought the refurbishment of the Heath Row play area, including new playground equipment, refurbishment of some existing equipment and suitable surfacing for younger children. The facility is intended for children from toddler age to 12. The work was classed as playground equipment and is located in Madeley; the procurement was managed by The Borough Council of Newcastle-under-Lyme, which was responsible for raising the purchase order and paying invoices. This was a single package covering the play area rather than separate lots. The requirement combined supply and installation with refurbishment, so it was relevant to suppliers able to provide equipment and deliver associated play-area works.

The procurement was awarded to KOMPAN LIMITED. The award was made on 4 December 2025 for £95,930.40 gross. The contract was signed on 17 December 2025, with a stated period from 17 December 2025 to 31 January 2026; implementation ended on 4 September 2026, and the reported final value was £96,000 gross. The contract is recorded as terminated, with completion given as the reason. The council ran a below-threshold open competition for one lot. Three bids were received, all from SMEs. Evaluation weighted play value at 35%, design rationale at 30%, inclusivity at 15%, durability at 10%, programme of works at 5% and references at 5%. Experienced play-area installers were invited to tender.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s recurring play-area requirement, the award demonstrates demand for a combined equipment, refurbishment and installation package intended for a broad age range, including toddlers and children up to 12. The competition attracted three SME bids, and the winning supplier was KOMPAN LIMITED. A credible competitor would need to show experience installing play areas, together with the ability to propose equipment and surfacing that support play value and inclusivity, and a considered design rationale. Evidence of durable solutions, a deliverable works programme and relevant references also mattered in the scoring. Bidders were required to provide a quotation breakdown, public liability insurance certificate, company health and safety policy and Association of Play Industries certification. The evaluation placed most weight on play value and design rationale, so technical compliance alone was not the full basis for selection.
