Summary of the contracting process

Wychavon District Council has completed an open procurement process for the maintenance of Waterplay Parks located in Evesham, Pershore, and Droitwich, falling under the services category. The procurement, identified by tender ID DN803217, was executed using an open competition method below the threshold, as per UKPGA 2023/54. The final contract was awarded to P.D. HUGHES LIMITED, starting from 1st April 2026 until 31st March 2029. The total gross contract value is £199,886.40, with an option for additional related services upon mutual agreement. The project took place in the West Midlands (UKG12 region) and involved repair and maintenance of park and playground equipment, including pumps, valves, taps, and metal containers.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in maintenance services and playground equipment in the UK, particularly those with expertise in servicing public spaces. Businesses specialising in the repair and maintenance of water-related facilities would be well-positioned to compete, especially given the focus on quality (70%) in award criteria. The successful execution of this contract aligns with local government goals and enhances business visibility within the public sector, providing avenues for SMEs to expand their portfolio and establish substantial credibility with local authorities.
