Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Lichfield District Council concerned the "Fradley Play Parks" project within the refurbishment work industry category, located at Worthington Road and Barlow Drive, Fradley, Staffordshire, WS13 8PG. The tender followed an open competitive method and aimed to upgrade play parks with a budgeted gross amount of £303,058.80 and net amount of £252,549.00. It commenced with active status on 10th September 2025, and concluded with a cancellation notice dated 12th December 2025. The procurement process was planned to culminate in a contract period from 3rd November 2025 to 31st December 2025, with the submission deadline set for 6th October 2025 at 11:00 GMT.

This tender represented an excellent opportunity for companies specialised in refurbishment and construction work to compete and expand their portfolio by providing quality enhancement to local play parks. Businesses focusing on general construction, particularly play park equipment manufacturers and installers, as well as organisations skilled in landscaping and contractor services, would find this project especially well-suited. A strong emphasis was placed on quality criteria, weighted at 80%, thereby prioritising high-standard submissions that promise substantial community benefits. The cancelled status ultimately closed this bidding opportunity, although similar projects may arise in future offerings from public authorities such as Lichfield District Council.
