Summary of the contracting process

Shrewsbury Town Council is seeking a contractor to refurbish the existing junior play area on Kynaston Road in Shrewsbury. The works include designing, supplying and installing play equipment and landscaping the playground. The scheme is intended to broaden the range of play activities, increase the usable play space and provide a safe place for local children. Equipment must include inclusive play options for children of all abilities aged 6 to 12, in line with the site specifications. The work is at Kynaston Road, Shrewsbury, SY1 3JR. This is a playground construction and refurbishment opportunity, combining play equipment supply and installation with landscaping.

The council invited tenders through an open competition. The process reached the tender stage, with offers invited. The deadline for enquiries was 6 November 2026 at 13:00, and the tender submission deadline was 20 November 2026 at 13:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January to 19 March 2027. The estimated budget is £85,000, with a stated gross value of £102,000. There is one lot, considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The council will assess play value, price, inclusive play elements, guarantees and warranties, and delivery capability, each weighted at 20%. Compliant offers, satisfactory references and overall value are also required.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to deliver a complete playground refurbishment, from equipment design and supply through installation and associated landscaping. Bidders should be able to propose a practical delivery timetable and demonstrate that their installation teams have appropriate qualifications and can complete the project to the proposed schedule. Experience selecting inclusive play equipment is relevant, including understanding hidden needs such as autism, sensory needs and neurodiversity, and providing equipment intended specifically for disabled children. Suppliers should be prepared to evidence the play value and capacity their designs provide, along with the duration of guarantees for play equipment and warranties for safety surfacing and installation. Satisfactory references and a credible approach to keeping ongoing maintenance to a minimum will support a competitive offer.
