Summary of the contracting process

London Legacy Development Corporation procured detailed design, fabrication and installation services for a structure and safe, inclusive play area for teenage girls at the future Waterden Green Youth Space in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London. The space will serve older children from the developing East Wick and Sweetwater neighbourhoods, as well as park visitors and residents in nearby communities. The requirement covers specialist playground equipment, playground landscaping, recreation installation and landscape architectural services. It is a high-profile public realm project intended to create the first Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park area designed specifically for older children, with a focus on women’s and girls’ safety, inclusion and youth needs.

The procurement is complete and Yes Make London Limited was selected on 6 August 2026 for the single lot. The award value is £600,000 excluding VAT (£720,000 including VAT), with a contract period from 19 August 2026 to 17 August 2029. The original core requirement was expected to take around 39 weeks, within a contract allowing additional services. LLDC used an open competitive flexible procedure with two stages: a written PQQ and an invitation to tender involving presentation and pricing. Four bids were received, three reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted technical presentation at 50%, pricing at 40%, and social value and value for money at 10%. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This award shows demand for an integrated specialist supplier able to take a youth-focused public space from detailed design through manufacture and installation. A credible competitor would need relevant experience designing and delivering playgrounds or recreation environments, including technical fabrication and installation capability, and the capacity to manage a substantial, high-profile park project. Strong evidence of co-creation and engagement with young people would be important, alongside a clear approach to designing safe and inclusive spaces for women and girls. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate team structure, delivery methodology, programme management, risk control and opportunities for added value. The evaluation gives significant importance to technical quality, while social value, value for money and transparent pricing also shape competitiveness.
