Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured works to upgrade the existing Baker Lane Play Area in Wakefield. The scope covered new challenging play equipment, safety surfacing, fencing and gates, together with the associated groundworks. The requirement included playground equipment, playground climbing apparatus and landscaping works for playgrounds. This is a public-sector play-area improvement project rather than a general construction requirement, so it is most relevant to contractors and specialist suppliers able to combine play equipment installation with site preparation and safety-related external works. Delivery is associated with the Baker Lane site in Wakefield, within the United Kingdom. The council was the buying organisation and the requirement was treated as a single package of works.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold tender procedure. One lot was awarded to KOMPAN LIMITED, with the award recorded as active. The award date was 3 August 2026 and the contract was signed on 22 July 2026. The contract value was £89,500 gross. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 4 August 2026. The process used a single lot covering the full Baker Lane Play Area upgrade. The published procurement information identifies the procurement method as below threshold, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The award was for works and covered the playground equipment, climbing apparatus and playground landscaping elements described in the requirement.

This award shows Wakefield’s demand for integrated play-area improvement works combining specialist recreational equipment with construction and external-environment works. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar requirements would need credible capability in designing or supplying challenging playground equipment, including climbing equipment, and installing it safely on an existing site. Relevant delivery strength would also include safety surfacing, fencing and gate installation, groundworks, drainage or site preparation where required, and landscaping for playgrounds. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a major national contractor. Businesses with a proven portfolio of public or community play-area upgrades, competent installation teams and the capacity to coordinate several workstreams would be well placed for comparable Wakefield requirements.
