Summary of the contracting process

Haslemere Town Council is procuring the design, supply and installation of playground equipment and associated groundworks for a new or improved play area at Lion Green, High Lane, Haslemere. The scope includes site set-up, playground surfacing, foundations, making good and any ancillary works needed to deliver a safe, durable and compliant play area. This is primarily a playground equipment and recreation installation opportunity, combining manufactured play equipment with construction and installation services. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement is for the Lion Green site, with the wider procurement activity also referring to separate playground tenders for two other sites. Businesses able to provide a complete design-and-installation solution should find the scope relevant.

The procurement has reached tender: Haslemere Town Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted for one or more of three related playground contracts, with this opportunity covering the Lion Green site. The tender 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. Electronic submission is allowed. The tender uses an initial pass-or-fail assessment against criteria in section 8 of the specification; submissions that fail are rejected. Remaining submissions are scored from 0 to 5 against weighted criteria set out in the same specification.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises able to deliver playground projects as a complete package. Relevant suppliers will be able to interpret or produce playground designs, supply suitable equipment, organise site set-up, install foundations and surfacing, complete associated groundworks and make good the site. The requirement also favours businesses that can demonstrate practical arrangements for delivering a safe, durable and compliant play area, including coordination of equipment, construction and ancillary works. It is particularly relevant to playground manufacturers with installation teams, specialist recreation contractors, landscape or groundworks businesses with playground capability, and partnerships combining design, equipment supply and site delivery. Suppliers should be prepared for an initial compliance check followed by weighted quality and other scored assessment.
