UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Horsham District Council has completed a procurement process for the renewal of the South Holmes Play Area, situated off Owlbeech Way in Horsham, United Kingdom. This involves a limited competition procurement method targeting five suppliers within the budgetary constraint of £145,000. The contract, set to commence on site from 5 October 2026, aims for practical completion by 30 October 2026, subject to manufacturing and delivery timings to optimise for favourable weather conditions. This public works contract falls under the construction industry category and was awarded on 9 July 2026 to Earth Wrights Limited following a comprehensive evaluation process.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in construction and outdoor recreational facilities. With the contract awarded to a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), it demonstrates a conducive environment for similar-sized firms to compete in future tenders. Businesses equipped with expertise in play area design and construction and those capable of delivering within tight deadlines are well-suited to participate in such procurement processes. This illustrates the potential for growth and market engagement with public sector clients seeking dedicated suppliers for their development initiatives.
