Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Rochdale Borough Council, titled "Stansfield Replacement Play Area," is currently in the tender stage. The project, falling under the services category with a focus on supply and installation of playground equipment and associated safety surfacing, is estimated at a gross value of £92,400. Located within the UKD3 region, the procurement method is an open competition, below the threshold.

The contract is expected to commence on 1st September 2026 and conclude on 13th October 2026.
