Summary of the contracting process

South Derbyshire District Council launched a public procurement tender for the improvement of Granville Recreation Ground, located in Woodville, Swadlincote, UK. The project is classified under the landscaping work for parks and playgrounds and falls within the public authority sub-central government sector. The procurement was conducted via an open method in an active tender stage, initially set to close submissions by 19th June 2026, with contracts commencing on 17th August 2026. The procurement process involved an amount of up to GBP 138,000 and emphasised quality and compliance with programme requirements. However, it was later cancelled on 7th July 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for suppliers in the construction and landscaping industries, particularly those specialising in play areas and community parks. The project sought qualified contractors capable of delivering high-quality construction and landscaping solutions, providing a platform for showcasing expertise and reliability. The tender's focus on quality and price as award criteria makes it ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) aiming to establish or expand their presence in public sector projects. Additionally, the tender's focus on community facilities enhancement aligns well with enterprises prioritising local development and community engagement. Despite the cancellation, similar future opportunities are anticipated in local authority projects.
