Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has completed the procurement process for a tender titled "Tender for a Quarterly Regime of Operational Play Inspections across the Bradford District." This contract was awarded on 13 January 2026 to KOMPAN Limited, a supplier based in Milton Keynes. The procurement falls under the services category, particularly focusing on the repair and maintenance of playground equipment, and it was conducted as an open competition below the threshold. The contract will span a period from 13 January 2026 to 31 December 2028, with a possible extension of 12 months, subject to satisfactory performance. This procurement is part of the Council's commitment to maintaining playground safety throughout the Bradford District in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in maintenance and inspection services, particularly those with experience in playground and park equipment.

The procurement's open method allows for wide participation, making it especially suitable for businesses looking to demonstrate their capabilities in delivering quality services aligned with public authority standards.
