Summary of the contracting process

Dartford Borough Council procured the supply and installation of outdoor gym equipment for Hesketh Park in Dartford. The requirement is for an outdoor gym very similar to the equipment previously supplied and installed at Central Park in Dartford. This is a goods contract for outdoor sports equipment, including the equipment itself and the associated installation work. The buyer is Dartford Borough Council, a local authority, and the delivery and installation location is Hesketh Park, Dartford. The opportunity will therefore be relevant to manufacturers, specialist suppliers and installation contractors able to provide outdoor fitness equipment for public parks and complete the installation as a comparable, council-funded recreational facility.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to KOMPAN LIMITED. Dartford Borough Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, under the stated legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023. The award date was 21 July 2026. The award value is £80,000 excluding VAT and £96,000 including VAT; these figures relate to the single completed lot. The contract period is from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. A future contract-signature milestone was scheduled for 22 July 2026. KOMPAN LIMITED is the selected supplier, and the award concerns the supply and installation of outdoor sports equipment for the Hesketh Park outdoor gym.

This procurement demonstrates Dartford Borough Council’s demand for a complete outdoor gym solution in its public parks, rather than equipment supply alone. A credible future competitor would need to manufacture or source durable outdoor fitness equipment, develop layouts or packages suitable for a park setting, and provide an installation service capable of delivering a finished facility. Experience of supplying comparable outdoor gyms would be particularly relevant, as the Hesketh Park requirement was described as similar to the earlier Central Park installation. Suppliers should be able to manage the practical requirements of public-sector park projects, coordinate equipment delivery and installation, and demonstrate the capacity to deliver a council-quality recreational asset.
