Summary of the contracting process

Haslemere Town Council is procuring the design, supply and installation of playground equipment and associated groundworks at Haslemere War Memorial Recreation Ground in Haslemere. The requirement covers site set-up, play equipment, surfacing, foundations, making good and ancillary works needed to provide a safe, durable and compliant play area. This is primarily a playground equipment and recreation installation requirement, including both supply and construction activity. The work is for one playground site, with related playground tenders being issued for two other sites; suppliers may bid for one or more of those contracts. The buying organisation is Haslemere Town Council, and delivery is at the War Memorial Recreation Ground in Haslemere, Surrey.

The procurement has reached tender: Haslemere Town Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender submission deadline was 23 October 2026 at 23:59. 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 covering the Haslemere War Memorial Recreation Ground site. Bids must first meet the pass/fail requirements set out in section 8 of the tender specification; submissions that fail are rejected. The remaining submissions are scored from 0 to 5 against weighted criteria set out in section 8. Electronic submission is allowed, with submissions directed through the council’s stated website or email arrangements.

This opportunity suits playground manufacturers, specialist play-area contractors and construction businesses able to combine equipment design and supply with site installation and groundworks. Suppliers need to manage site set-up, surfacing, foundations, making good and associated works, while delivering a safe, durable and compliant play area. The requirement is suited to businesses with practical experience of playground installation and the capacity to coordinate design, equipment, construction and completion at a public recreation site. Participation is reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises based in the United Kingdom. Businesses bidding should be prepared to demonstrate that their proposal meets the mandatory tender specification before their scored submission is evaluated.
