Summary of the contracting process

Trowbridge Town Council is procuring the removal of the existing junior multiplay unit at Paxcroft Brook Play Area and the supply and installation of a replacement of similar scale and function. This is a playground equipment supply and installation requirement, intended to provide varied play for children in the junior age range, typically ages 5 to 12. The work will take place at Paxcroft Brook Play Area in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. The council is seeking a complete solution covering removal of the current equipment, supply of the replacement unit and installation. Suppliers specialising in junior play equipment, playground construction and associated installation services are the most relevant audience for this opportunity.

The procurement has reached tender: Trowbridge Town Council has invited suppliers to submit written quotations through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 23 October 2026 at 23:59, and the quotation deadline was 30 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 February 2027 to 1 April 2027. Its gross value is £36,000. There is one lot. Offers will be assessed using a 100-point best-value matrix rather than lowest price alone: play value and variety 40%, age-appropriateness 15%, build quality and durability 15%, compliance and safety certification 10%, price and value for money 15%, and warranty and aftercare 5%. The highest weighted score will be recommended for award.

This opportunity suits established playground equipment manufacturers, specialist suppliers and installation contractors able to deliver a complete junior multiplay replacement. Strong proposals will demonstrate varied play patterns such as climbing, sliding, balance, agility and social play, with an appropriate scale and challenge for children aged roughly 5 to 12 rather than a scaled-up toddler unit. Suppliers should be able to evidence durable materials, a suitable finish and a credible expected service life. Compliance with BS EN 1176 and BS EN 1177, or successor standards, is required, together with a satisfactory RoSPA post-installation inspection. Relevant businesses should also offer meaningful warranty cover, access to spare parts and ongoing maintenance support, while showing capacity to remove the existing unit and install its replacement safely.
