Summary of the contracting process

Lee Valley Regional Park Authority procured works to provide a new play area at Lee Valley Caravan Park (Dobbs Weir), Charlton Meadows, Hoddesdon, Essex. The facility is intended for touring guests, guests staying in fixed accommodation and children from the 127 holiday homes on site. The scope includes swings and other play activities for children up to 12, including children with additional needs. It covers playground and park equipment, recreation installation, playground landscaping and flatwork for the children’s play area. The work is delivered at the caravan park in Hoddesdon, within the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority’s estate. The requirement is categorised as construction works, with a specific focus on inclusive outdoor play provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Four bids were received and all four reached the final stage. The estimated value was £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. Bids closed on 4 June 2026 at 12 noon, following an enquiry deadline of 27 May 2026 at 12 noon. Price carried 60% of the evaluation and quality 40%. Lee Valley Regional Park Authority awarded the single lot to ESP Play Ltd on 15 July 2026 for £73,337.07 excluding VAT, or £88,004.49 including VAT. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and has a contract period from 29 September 2026 to 31 October 2026.

This award confirms demand from Lee Valley Regional Park Authority for a relatively compact, inclusive outdoor play project serving holiday accommodation and visiting users. A credible future competitor would need to combine play-area design and equipment supply with practical installation capability, including landscaping, recreation structures and flatwork or surfacing. Experience of designing facilities for children up to 12, including children with additional needs, would be directly relevant, as would the ability to create equipment that works for both general visitors and a residential holiday-park setting. Suppliers should also be able to manage a complete site-based works package rather than supplying equipment alone, and demonstrate delivery experience at comparable public-facing leisure or park facilities.
