UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Elmbridge Borough Council involves the replacement of the Rail Runway and associated safety surfacing at Hersham Recreation Ground within the borough. The procurement falls under the works category, specifically targeting playground equipment and building installation work. Elmbridge Borough Council, a public authority within the sub-central government sector, is currently in the planning stage, with a market engagement meeting scheduled on 8th May 2026 at Hersham Recreation Ground. Interested parties can expect future communication notice by 12th May 2026. The contract is expected to be executed between 8th October 2026 and 2nd November 2026.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in playground equipment and construction services. The inclusion of a dynamic purchasing system suggests a flexible and potentially ongoing opportunity for suppliers who can meet the council's requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete due to the suitability classification for lot 1. Given the specifics of the project and the public sector authority behind it, businesses with expertise in construction and installation work, especially those offering innovative safety solutions, would be well-suited to participate and expand their portfolio in government projects.
