UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dronfield Town Council is procuring works to refurbish the Cliffe Park play area on Callywhite Lane, Dronfield, Derbyshire. Cliffe Park is the council’s largest and well-used playground, serving local residents, schoolchildren, visitors and dog walkers. The refurbishment will address a range of existing facilities, including a fenced sand pit, table tennis table and play equipment for different age groups, within an open-access park setting. The requirement covers park and playground equipment and associated landscaping works (CPV 43325000 and 45112711). The council manages and maintains ten playgrounds across Dronfield, so the work is relevant to contractors delivering public play-area improvements, equipment installation, landscaping and related construction works.

The procurement has reached tender: Dronfield Town Council invited quotations through an open procedure. It has one lot, with submissions due by 16 October 2026 at 12:00. Enquiries close on 9 October 2026 at 23:59, and the award decision is due by 2 November 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 11 January 2027 to 30 April 2027. Its maximum value is £300,000 excluding VAT, or £360,000 including VAT. The council requires submissions in English and does not allow electronic submission; quotations may be submitted by post or email. Evaluation is based entirely on quality: design, accessibility and inclusion 30%, specification compliance 20%, durability and maintenance 10%, health and safety 10%, programme 10%, experience and references 10%, innovation and added value 5%, and sustainability, social value and waste management 5%.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises as well as established playground refurbishment contractors. Strong bidders will need to demonstrate the ability to design and deliver inclusive, accessible play environments, comply closely with a technical specification and provide durable equipment that can be maintained over time. The evaluation also requires credible health and safety management, a practical programme of work and relevant experience supported by references. Contractors should be able to manage landscaping alongside playground equipment works and explain how they will deliver innovation, added value, sustainability, social value and waste management. The project is a substantial single-site public realm works package, making it relevant to suppliers with suitable installation, site management, coordination and quality-control capacity.
