This project, which falls under the "works" industry category, aims to enhance the existing local play area at Hanslope Recreation Ground located in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom (Region UKJ12). Key proposals include landscaping, resurfacing, and upgrading play equipment, with a strong focus on safety and accessibility improvements. The tender, which is conducted as an open competition below threshold, will finish its enquiry phase on 24th July 2026 and accept submissions until 3rd August 2026. The contract is valued at £260,000 and is expected to commence on 21st September 2026, concluding on 20th July 2028.
