UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is inviting tenders for the refurbishment of the Talbot Street Rec Play Area. This tender falls under the "works" industry category, specifically targeting playground and park equipment. The project includes the removal and refurbishment of play units, the installation of new safety surfacing, asphalt paths, tree planting, and street furniture. The procurement stage is currently active and is initiated through an open competition, below the threshold, with the tender period ending on 27th February 2026. Interested parties should be aware that the enquiry period concludes on 18th February 2026, with work expected to commence on 5th May 2026 in the Bradford region (UKE41), United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in landscaping, play equipment manufacture, and installation services. The project's emphasis on playground equipment refurbishment and installation could be particularly appealing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in park and play area development. Given the requirement for contractors to be a member of Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP), businesses that already hold this certification may have a competitive advantage. Successful bidders will be determined based on a combination of the supplier's response to quality, social value, and pricing matrix criteria, allowing diverse businesses to leverage their specific strengths in these areas to secure the contract.
