Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process related to the development of a playground at the Old Bus Station in Merthyr Tydfil was initiated by the Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council. This project falls under the construction work industry category and is located in the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKL15 region. The tender stage progressed from initiation to award, and the procurement method was of limited competition below the threshold. Key transactional dates included the contract period from 23rd March 2026 to 4th May 2026. The award was active until the project was completed and subsequently terminated on 15th May 2026, as the terms were fulfilled.

Companies specialising in design, supply, and construction, as well as associated groundworks, fencing, and drainage works, could find this type of contract beneficial for expanding their portfolio, as demonstrated by the involvement of Marton Civil Engineering, the contractor awarded the project. Businesses of various sizes, especially those capable of meeting sub-central government standards and willing to engage in limited competition procurement processes, are encouraged to seek similar opportunities.
