Summary of the contracting process

Poringland Parish Council procured the design, supply and installation of a replacement play area at Mulberry Green, Poringland. The work covers park and playground equipment for children aged 5 to 15, including provision for children with a range of disabilities. The new equipment replaces all existing items and combines two fenced areas into one contiguous space. The intended setting is attractive, calming and sympathetic to the surrounding landscape. This is a goods requirement involving a complete play-area solution rather than equipment supply alone, with the supplier responsible for delivering the elements and installing the finished facility in Poringland. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 11 September 2026 following a below-threshold open competition. The estimated value was £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT; the award to PROLUDIC LIMITED was £180,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 24 September 2026 to 18 December 2026, with signature scheduled for 24 September 2026. Enquiries closed on 7 August 2026 at 4pm and tenders closed on 12 August 2026 at 4pm. Two bids were received, both from SMEs. Evaluation weighted play value at 20%, public consultation at 10%, value for money at 10%, adherence to the work specification at 20%, inclusivity at 20%, aesthetics at 10% and sustainability at 10%.

This award demonstrates demand for a complete, community-focused playground project from a supplier able to combine design, equipment manufacture or sourcing, delivery and installation. A credible future competitor would need to design for a broad age range while incorporating genuinely accessible play for children with different disabilities. The requirement also favours providers able to run or respond to public consultation, meet a detailed work specification, demonstrate value for money and produce an attractive, calming scheme that fits its landscape. Sustainability is a scored consideration, so evidence of durable materials, responsible supply and low-impact delivery would strengthen a bid. The successful supplier profile shows that an SME can compete, but bidders need sufficient project management and installation capacity for a full replacement scheme.
