UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Derbyshire District Council is procuring works to create a new inclusive children’s play area at Arthur Street, Castle Gresley, Swadlincote, Derbyshire DE11 9HG. The requirement covers the complete play area solution: design, supply, installation and commissioning of play equipment. The work is classified as landscaping for parks (CPV 45112711), so it may suit suppliers that combine play equipment provision with site and landscaping delivery. The council is the buying organisation and will use the completed facility for local children. The requirement is a single package rather than a multi-lot programme, covering the play area at the stated Arthur Street location.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 18 September 2026 at 5:00 pm, and offers had to be submitted by 16 October 2026 at 5:00 pm. Electronic submission is allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 23 November 2026 to 18 December 2026. Its estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. There is one lot. The council will evaluate offers on quality alone, weighted at 100%. This is a works procurement for the design, supply, installation and commissioning of the new play area.

This opportunity suits a suitably qualified and experienced play equipment supplier able to take responsibility for the full delivery cycle, from designing an inclusive children’s play area through to supplying equipment, installing it and commissioning the completed facility. Businesses should be able to demonstrate competence in play equipment projects and in coordinating design, site installation and handover as one service. The requirement may be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is likely to favour suppliers with practical delivery capacity for a complete community play area, including the personnel and project management needed to meet the council’s quality requirements within the specified contract period.
