Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark commissioned refurbishment and improvements to the outdoor gym facilities in Southwark Park, London. The works support the council’s aim of expanding access to free outdoor exercise and improving health, wellbeing and use of public open space for residents and visitors. The requirement covered an outdoor recreation installation upgrade; the published scope does not break down the equipment or individual works. Delivery was at Southwark Park, SE16. This is a single-site park facility project, rather than a general gym or leisure-service contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Kompan Ltd. The council used a below-threshold limited competition, evaluating tenders on the most advantageous tender basis, with quality and price weighted in the assessment. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 1 October to 31 December 2026, with an initial 12-week term and provision for extension by mutual written agreement where reasonably required; the stated maximum extent is 31 January 2027. The contract value is £73,359 excluding VAT and £88,031 including VAT. The requirement was arranged as one lot. The award is active and the contract is active.

This award shows that Southwark buys outdoor gym refurbishment and enhancement as a defined works contract for a public park, through limited competition below the applicable threshold. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to refurbish and improve outdoor exercise facilities at an operational public space, and to deliver the required works within a short, tightly bounded programme. The council’s stated appointment sought a suitably qualified and experienced contractor, while its quality-and-price assessment means a supplier would need to show both a sound technical approach and competitive pricing. The project’s public-health and inclusive recreation aims also make relevant experience delivering accessible outdoor facilities and improving public open spaces pertinent to the requirement.
