Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington procured a main building contractor for refurbishment works to the Hayward Adventure Playground building. This is a construction and building-refurbishment requirement, covering the physical improvement of an adventure-playground facility rather than the supply of playground equipment alone. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Islington, a local public authority. Delivery locations are recorded across England, including London and other English regions. The requirement is therefore relevant to building contractors, refurbishment specialists and construction firms able to undertake work on public or community facilities. It may also suit firms with experience coordinating multiple trades and working safely in environments used by children and the wider community.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Grenville Building & Decorating Contractors Limited, an SME. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown, and comprised one completed lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date was 24 August 2026; the contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 25 August 2026 to 15 January 2028. The contract value is £397,817.97 excluding tax, or £477,381.56 including tax. The published classification is refurbishment work. The outcome provides a clear benchmark for the scale and type of contractor selected for this playground-building refurbishment requirement.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need to deliver building refurbishment works as a main contractor, with sufficient capacity to manage a substantial public-sector project from mobilisation through completion. Relevant experience would include refurbishing community, leisure, educational or other occupied public buildings, coordinating subcontractors and trades, managing site risks, and maintaining quality and programme control. Firms should be able to demonstrate reliable delivery of construction and decorating work in facilities intended for children and community use. The award to an SME indicates that this requirement can be delivered by a focused smaller contractor, provided it can show the necessary technical competence, project management capability, financial resilience and relevant refurbishment track record.
