Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Newham is procuring works to remove and replace the wetpour safety surfacing at Chandos Road play area in London. The requirement concerns playground and park equipment, resurfacing and associated playground repair and maintenance work. The work is classified primarily as construction works and is intended to improve the safety surface serving the play area. It is a single-site requirement at Chandos Road play area. Businesses specialising in wetpour safety surfacing, playground refurbishment, resurfacing works or related play-area maintenance should find the scope relevant. The requirement is for physical works rather than the supply of standalone playground equipment, although experience of working around existing play equipment may be relevant to delivery.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 15 September 2026 at 18:00, and the tender submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 17:00. Bids may be submitted electronically through the buyer’s e-sourcing portal. The contract is scheduled to run from 30 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. It is divided into one lot. The published gross estimated value is £0, with the same published gross value applying to the lot. Evaluation is weighted 60% to price and 40% to technical and quality considerations. The opportunity is therefore decided on a combination of cost and the strength of the proposed technical delivery approach.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly contractors with practical experience removing and installing wetpour safety surfacing in playgrounds or public outdoor spaces. Relevant suppliers are likely to include specialist safety-surfacing installers, playground refurbishment contractors, park maintenance businesses and civil engineering firms with resurfacing capability. The work calls for the ability to manage removal of an existing surface and deliver a replacement suitable for a play area, while working around installed playground equipment and maintaining a safe site. Businesses should be comfortable delivering physical works during the stated contract period and demonstrating a credible technical and quality approach, since technical and quality considerations account for 40% of evaluation. Firms able to combine specialist surfacing skills with reliable site delivery may be well placed to compete.
