UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Castle Point Borough Council is procuring construction works to deliver a new Changing Places facility at South Benfleet Playing Fields, together with associated remodelling. The facility will support the borough’s first fully inclusive and accessible playground. This is a construction project, covering the facility and the related changes to the playing fields; the stated delivery location is South Benfleet, in Essex. The council is the buyer and is seeking a contractor able to undertake the specified works as part of the wider playground development.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement reached the tender stage, and electronic submission was allowed. The deadline for questions was 21 October 2026 at 12:00 BST; the submission deadline was 30 October 2026 at 16:30 BST. The single lot has an estimated gross value of £180,000. The contract period is scheduled to run from 8 December 2026 to 8 March 2027. Award is based on commercial, technical and social evaluation, followed by a technical consensus meeting to agree final scores using the methodology set out in the tender.

The opportunity suits construction contractors able to deliver a new Changing Places facility and carry out associated remodelling at a playing fields site. The requirement contributes to an inclusive and accessible playground, so suppliers should be equipped to deliver the works in line with the project specification. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable to participate. Bidders’ offers are assessed on commercial, technical and social grounds, with final scores agreed at a technical consensus meeting. This calls for a credible delivery approach across the construction work and its technical and social aspects. The contract is a single, defined works package rather than a multi-lot procurement.
