Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council, in collaboration with local Town/Parish Councils, initiated a public procurement process for the redesign, removal, refurbishment, and installation of three play areas under Lot 1. This project falls under the construction work industry category and is specifically classified as works. The procurement stage has been completed, and the award was granted to Kompan Ltd on 20th April 2026. The procurement was conducted through a limited method under the ESPO Framework Agreement 115_25, without the publication of a call for competition, as it was deemed outside the directive's scope. The awarded contract is valued at £79,819.94, and the deliverables are located across several regions in the UK, including UKC and UKD, with specific installations at Staplehurst Close, Carlton Colville.

This tender allows businesses specialising in construction and outdoor sports equipment to gain or expand their footprint in the regional market. Companies with expertise in creating play areas, especially those familiar with UK frameworks, are well-suited to engage with such opportunities. The involvement of local councils further emphasises the potential for developing community projects and partnerships. Suppliers like Kompan Ltd, noted as a small to medium enterprise (SME), demonstrate that businesses of similar scale can successfully compete and secure contracts within this framework.
