The procurement falls within the 'works' category and involves the refurbishment of playground equipment across nine specific sites within Bridgend, including Pen Y Fai and Kenfig Hill. This project was conducted under the ESPO 115-25 Framework Agreement and seeks to ensure such facilities meet high safety standards, requiring bidders to be verified to a minimum of Bronze membership and SSIP Accredited. The contract has been successfully awarded to Sutcliffe Play (South West) Limited on 17th March 2026, with the procurement process using a capped pricing method at £690,000 to ensure budget adherence.
