Summary of the contracting process

The Hellingly Parish Council is actively seeking tenders for the development of a new play area, suitable for children aged 0-12 years, to be installed at the Lower Horsebridge Recreation grounds in Hellingly, United Kingdom. This contract, under the title "Play Area," falls within the playground equipment and services industry category. The procurement process is in the tender stage and follows the open procedure method, valued at £100,000 with a gross total of £120,000. Key dates include an on-site session for potential contractors on 5th February, with the tender period ending on 28th February and the award period closing on 15th March 2026. The project does not require elements like fencing or benches, as these will be managed separately by a local contractor.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in playground construction and installation to expand their portfolios by undertaking a prestigious public contract. Ideal candidates would include those with experience in creating engaging and inclusive play environments, capable of offering both installation and ongoing maintenance services. Companies fulfilling criteria such as public liability insurance and qualified personnel are encouraged to apply. This project beckons contractors who not only ensure compliance with safety and design standards but also promise a superior aftercare service, aligning with the council’s vision for future-proofing the play area.
