The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London awarded a contract titled "Wicksteed Supply and Installation of Play Equipment at Highgate Wood" on 26 January 2026. The contract falls under the goods category, specifically gymnasium equipment, and involves dismantling old gym equipment and installing new equipment alongside new safety flooring at Highgate Wood playing field.

The contract period is set from 1 March 2026 to 31 March 2026, with a value of £35,948.54. The procurement stage is at the award and contract phase.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply and installation of play or gym equipment, particularly those able to offer comprehensive installation services.
