UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancaster City Council procured works to repair and resurface the surface at Regent Park. The requirement covers resurfacing works, flatwork for a children’s play area and landscaping work for playgrounds. The work is for a public park and play-area setting in Lancaster. The council is the buying organisation and the procurement was arranged as a single requirement. The scope is therefore relevant to contractors delivering outdoor surfacing and associated playground or landscape works, rather than to suppliers of general construction materials alone. Businesses with capability across play-area surfaces, hard landscaping and related external works would be closest to the requirement. The selected supplier, Abacus PLaygrounds limited, is an SME based in Dartford.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Abacus PLaygrounds limited. The award was made on 24 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £33,000 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. Lancaster City Council used a below-threshold limited competition, meaning a limited procurement route rather than an open competition. There was one lot, covering the Regent Park resurfacing works, and that lot is complete. The contract is active. The outcome shows a short, defined works package procured through a relatively focused competition, with the award based on the requirements set out for the resurfacing and associated playground works.

This procurement is commercially relevant to SMEs and specialist contractors able to deliver playground resurfacing as a complete works package. A credible competitor would need practical capability in surface repairs, flatwork for children’s play areas and landscaping around playgrounds, with sufficient capacity to deliver a defined external works project within a short delivery window. Experience coordinating these related activities would help a supplier present a reliable end-to-end offer to the council, particularly where surfacing and surrounding hard or soft landscape works need to be delivered together. The award also indicates that Lancaster City Council buys this type of focused park infrastructure work through a below-threshold limited competition, so suppliers should be prepared to respond efficiently to similar council requirements and demonstrate relevant completed playground or public-space projects.
