Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the construction of a new inclusive playground at East Beach, led by Southend-on-Sea City Council, has reached the award stage as of 4th June 2026. This project involves the removal of existing equipment, installation of new playground surfacing, and landscaping works in the Southend-on-Sea region, classified under public authority - sub-central government.
