Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Phase 2 Play Improvement Programme," focusing on refurbishing play areas within the Liverpool City region by replacing play equipment and safety surfaces. The procurement falls under the "works" and "goods" categories, aiming to improve community recreation spaces. The contract was awarded on 11 June 2026, and the contract period is set from 22 June 2026 to 22 June 2027. This project engaged several suppliers, including KOMPAN LIMITED, SUTCLIFFE PLAY LIMITED, and WICKSTEED LEISURE LIMITED, with the total contract value distributed across multiple lots, each dedicated to different park areas within the region of UKD72. The procurement method identified is "Below threshold - unknown," and involves public authority classification at a sub-central government level.
