This initiative falls under the industry categories of general public services and recreation, culture, and religion. The framework covers regions within the UKM81 code and involves various delivery locations. Initially tendered in March 2025, with the procurement method designated as an open procedure, the process concluded in August 2025 with the awarding of contracts. The procurement provides a framework agreement for works to build new play parks, gym equipment, trim trails, and other associated works, with significant financial stakes estimated between £3,000,000 and £5,000,000 depending on funding.

This framework represents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in outdoor playground equipment and associated construction works. It is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant experience, as evidenced by the selection of multiple SME suppliers such as Covanburn Contracts Limited and Jupiter Play & Leisure. Successful bidders are expected to have a solid financial standing and previous experience in delivering contracts of similar scope. This venture provides a platform for suppliers to expand their network, showcasing their capacity for delivering high-quality, large-scale public works, whilst contributing to community enrichment through the development of recreational spaces.
