Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process for the enhancement of five children’s play areas across Bristol, categorised under construction work. The contract, valued at £368,944, was signed on 9th March 2026 and awarded to Dragon Play and Sports Ltd. The procurement falls within the works category using a call-off contract facilitated by the ESPO framework under PCR15 regulations, executed via a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. While the associated lot was eventually cancelled, key delivery locations to benefit included Barton Fields, Court Farm Road MUGA, Fortfield Green, Netham Park, and Redcatch Park, as outlined in the tender documents.

This tender presents potential business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs specialising in children's play equipment or similar construction services. Dragon Play and Sports Ltd, a Caerphilly-based SME, successfully competed by meeting quality and price criteria. Businesses focusing on innovative play equipment design, installation services, and those capable of rapid project execution would find similar procurements advantageous. The framework utilisation suggests that qualified suppliers within established frameworks may have increased access to such tender opportunities.
