Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Borough Council commissioned the design, supply and installation of a replacement playground at Corrib Road, within Devonshire Road Rock Gardens in Blackpool. The existing play area was outdated and no longer suited the needs of a growing local community. The project is intended to create a modern, inclusive space for children and young people of different ages, supporting varied types of play and physical activity. The equipment scope covers playground apparatus such as swings, slides, seesaws and roundabouts. The setting is a well-used green space accessible from surrounding streets, including Inver Road, with footpath connections associated with nearby housing development. This is a combined playground design and equipment installation requirement, rather than a purchase of standalone equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to KOMPAN Limited. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 29 September to 1 December 2026. Its stated value is £125,987.62 including gross value. The council used a selective route, making the award under a framework agreement; the call-off was competitive. The procurement was arranged as one lot. The award covers the playground design, equipment supply and installation. The recorded award is active, and the contract is active. The available outcome information identifies the successful supplier and contract value; no evaluation scoring or other award rationale is recorded here.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Blackpool Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for a single, integrated playground project combining design, equipment supply and installation. A credible competitor would need to show it can plan an inclusive play environment for children and young people across age groups, and supply a suitable mix of equipment such as swings, slides, seesaws and roundabouts. Experience delivering installations in established public green spaces would be relevant, as would the capacity to coordinate design and on-site delivery as one package. The competitive framework call-off also indicates that suppliers need access to an appropriate framework route to compete for this kind of requirement. The council’s stated aim was to improve play provision for a growing community, so proposals should address varied play and physical activity needs.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Design, Supply & Installation of Corrib Rd Playground

Notice Description

Corrib Road Playground is located within a green space at the base of the hill in Devonshire Road Rock Gardens, a well-used park that serves both existing residents and a growing local community. The site is accessible from surrounding streets, including Inver Road, and will also benefit from improved connectivity via new footpath links associated with nearby housing developments. Due to significant house building in the area, there is a clear opportunity to redevelop the existing playground, which is now outdated and in need of improvement. The current space no longer meets the needs of the expanding community or modern expectations for play. This project will focus on transforming the playground into a modern, functional and inclusive space that caters for children and young people of all ages. The aim is to create a well-designed play environment that supports a range of play types, encourages physical activity, and provides a welcoming destination for both new and established residents.
