UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council is procuring the supply and installation of replacement play equipment and safety surfacing for the Stansfield Replacement Play Area. The requirement covers playground equipment and associated recreational services, with the work to be delivered in the Rochdale Borough. This is a services procurement involving the practical delivery and installation of a replacement play area rather than consultancy, design-only work or routine maintenance. Suppliers should be able to provide suitable outdoor play equipment, install it safely and complete the associated safety surfacing. The council is the public-sector buyer for the requirement, which is intended to provide a replacement community play facility for local users.

The process reached tender: Rochdale Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 14 August 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 21 August 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the ProContract portal using reference DN822798. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 September 2026 to 13 October 2026. The estimated value is £77,000 excluding VAT, or £92,400 including VAT. There is one lot covering the complete requirement. Offers are evaluated on 60% quality, including 20% social value, and 40% price. The opportunity is below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits playground equipment manufacturers, specialist play-area contractors and installation companies able to deliver a complete replacement facility, including safety surfacing. Strong candidates will have practical experience supplying and installing outdoor play equipment, coordinating site installation and completing works to the required safety standard within the specified delivery period. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may fit an established specialist contractor or a smaller firm with the necessary equipment, installation team and delivery capacity. Suppliers able to demonstrate dependable project management, quality control, safe working practices and relevant play-area experience should consider competing. Social value forms part of the quality assessment, so bidders should be prepared to explain the community benefits their delivery approach can provide.
