Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Ardsley Play Area Phase 2" project, managed by the Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council in South Yorkshire, has been completed. This tender involved refurbishment services for a play area, falling under the industry category of "Repair and maintenance services of playground equipment." The contract was awarded to NWS Play and carries a total value of £67,275. Initiated under a "limited" procurement method due to being below the threshold for more extensive competition, the contract was signed on 24th September 2025 and is set to be active from 6th October 2025 until 31st March 2026.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specializing in playground equipment maintenance and refurbishment. Companies that provide services in the United Kingdom, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are well-suited to compete in such tenders. Since the procurement method employed was limited, it allows for a focused competition, giving smaller businesses with expertise in this field the chance to secure public sector contracts and expand their portfolio within the regional market.
