Summary of the contracting process

Haslemere Town Council is procuring the design, supply and installation of new playground equipment and associated groundworks at Lion Green in Haslemere. The requirement covers the complete delivery of a safe, durable and compliant play area, including site set-up, surfacing, foundations, making good and any ancillary works. It is primarily a playground equipment and recreation installation opportunity, rather than a supply-only purchase. The contract is one of three separate but related playground tenders being issued for different sites, and suppliers may submit bids for one or more of the three contracts. The council is the buying organisation and the work is to be delivered in Haslemere, United Kingdom.

The procurement has reached tender: Haslemere Town Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were due by 23 October 2026 at 23:59:59. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract period is from 1 December 2026 to 19 March 2027. The estimated value is £130,000 excluding VAT, or £156,000 including VAT. There is one contract grouping the playground equipment and installation works. Bids must first pass the initial met-or-not-met requirements in section 8 of the tender specification; submissions failing those requirements are rejected. The remaining submissions are scored from 0 to 5 against weighted criteria set out in section 8.

This opportunity suits a small or medium-sized enterprise, voluntary, community or social enterprise able to provide an end-to-end playground installation service. Relevant capability includes designing play areas, supplying suitable playground equipment, preparing and setting up the site, constructing foundations, installing surfacing and completing associated groundworks and making-good work. Suppliers should be able to deliver a safe, durable and compliant recreation area and demonstrate the capacity to coordinate the different elements of the installation within the contract period. Businesses able to bid for playground projects at multiple sites may also consider the two related tenders issued alongside this requirement. The competition is reserved for eligible SME or VCSE organisations in the United Kingdom.
