UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wigginton and Hopwas Parish Council is seeking a supplier to redesign, supply and install sports-themed play equipment and safety surfacing, upgrading the existing playground and playing field on Lichfield Road in Hopwas, near Tamworth, Staffordshire. The purchase is playground equipment and associated surfacing for a local community play facility. The work covers the design as well as provision and installation of the equipment, rather than equipment supply alone. Suppliers should be able to deliver a coordinated refurbishment at the named site, including suitable safety surfacing. The stated delivery location is Hopwas Playground and Playing Field.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited suppliers to submit proposals. The enquiry deadline was 30 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC, and the submission deadline was 11 January 2027 at 23:59 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 5 April to 31 May 2027, with a possible extension to 5 July 2027. The estimated value is £130,000 excluding VAT (£156,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation gives quality 80% and price 20%; bidders must provide prices for each work element and a total price. Designs must be unbranded for blind review. Submissions are accepted by email, file transfer or post; electronic submission is not permitted.

The opportunity is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. It is best suited to playground contractors able to develop sports-themed designs, supply and install play equipment, and provide safety surfacing as part of a refurbishment. Bidders need to price each element of the schedule of works and submit a total tender price, while also presenting a strong quality response: quality accounts for four-fifths of the evaluation. Design proposals must remove brand names and logos so that the council can assess them without supplier branding. The specification notes that equipment above four metres may require planning permission, which could affect delivery planning and timing. Suppliers should therefore be able to manage design and installation requirements and accommodate possible planning-related delays.
