Summary of the contracting process

Saffron Walden Town Council is procuring the costed design, supply and installation of outdoor gym equipment at two sites in Saffron Walden: Lime Avenue, off Little Walden Road, and Wallace Road, off Radwinter Road in the Leverett Way estate. The requirement covers outdoor sports and gymnasium equipment, including the associated installation works. The council intends to appoint a contractor able to develop suitable design proposals and deliver the equipment at both locations. This is primarily a goods procurement with installation and design services, managed by Saffron Walden Town Council. The locations are in Saffron Walden, Essex, and the requirement is divided between the two named sites.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. It is divided into two lots, one for Lime Avenue and one for Wallace Road. Each lot has an estimated gross value of £60,000, with a combined procurement value published as £120,000 gross, all in GBP. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer was 8 September 2026 at 16:00. The planned award decision date was 30 September 2026 at 23:59. Both lots have the same contract period, from 10 January 2027 to 28 February 2027. Bids may be submitted electronically in English. Evaluation is weighted equally between cost and quality, at 50% each. Both lots are identified as suitable for SMEs.

This opportunity suits outdoor gym, sports equipment and commercial fitness suppliers that can provide both equipment and installation. Strong candidates will be able to prepare costed design proposals tailored to two public outdoor sites, coordinate delivery and installation, and complete the work within the specified contract period. Experience installing outdoor fitness or recreational equipment would be relevant, particularly where suppliers can demonstrate practical site planning, equipment selection and safe construction. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, and suppliers may target either or both site-specific lots. Because quality carries the same weight as cost, businesses should be prepared to explain the design, suitability and delivery approach rather than compete on price alone.
