Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, led by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, concerns the design, supply, and installation of a freestanding external playground canopy at Bromley Hills Primary School in Dudley, UK. Falling under the construction industry category, this project's contract was awarded on 29th March 2026, and it commenced on 30th March 2026, concluding on 6th April 2026. Operating under the legal framework of UKPGA 2023/54, the procurement method used was limited competition due to being below the threshold.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in construction work, particularly those adept at small-scale, bespoke projects. With a contract value of £63,377 GBP, it is suitable for SMEs capable of delivering quality groundwork and installation services within tight timeframes.
