Summary of the contracting process

Rossendale Borough Council is procuring refurbishment works for the Elder Children’s Play Area at Edgeside Park in Rossendale. The work involves removing the existing play equipment and surfacing, then designing and installing a new play scheme. It is a construction and site-preparation requirement with the supply and installation of playground and park equipment. The buying organisation is Rossendale Borough Council, based in Bacup. Delivery is required at Edgeside Park, with the procurement structured as a single requirement. This opportunity should suit contractors able to manage the full play-area refurbishment, from site clearance and preparation through to design, equipment supply, surfacing and installation. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: Rossendale Borough Council invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 26 August 2026 at 17:00, and tenders were due by 18 September 2026 at 12:00. The planned evaluation decision date was 2 October 2026. The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 22 January 2027. The estimated value is £140,000 excluding VAT, or £168,000 including VAT. The tender is above the applicable threshold. Evaluation is based on quality: design carries 50%, construction and safety 25%, other quality considerations 15%, and social value 10%. Offers may be submitted electronically in English; paper tenders are not accepted.

This opportunity suits playground, landscape and civil engineering contractors with the capability to deliver a complete public play-area refurbishment. Relevant experience includes removing existing play equipment and surfacing, preparing sites, developing safe and engaging play designs, supplying suitable playground equipment, and completing installation and new surfacing. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate strong design capability, robust construction and safety management, and an approach to delivering social value. The high weighting for design makes creative, practical and user-focused play schemes particularly important, while construction and safety form a substantial part of the assessment. Businesses able to coordinate design, procurement, site works and installation under one contract are well placed to compete.
