Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Firbank Play Park project, managed by East Dunbartonshire Council, involved the design and installation of a new play park in the locality of Kirkintilloch, UKM81. This falls under the category of recreation, culture, and religion and utilises the 'works' procurement category. The procurement was executed using an open procedure, specifically through a mini competition from the EDC framework for Outdoor Play Areas, Trim Trails and Associated Works. The contract was awarded on 26 August 2025, following a comprehensive tender stage where East Dunbartonshire Council served as the buyer. The project is to take place at the Firbank Play Park and was completed with a contract value of £59,500 GBP.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs in the playground equipment industry, as evidenced by the six SME bids received. With a focus on outdoor play equipment and trim trails, businesses with expertise in these areas are positioned to leverage frameworks such as the EDC's for potential future contracts. Suppliers with specialised skills in designing and installing recreational facilities, as well as those capable of providing innovative and sustainable play solutions that adhere to local authority requirements, would be well-suited to participate in similar competitive procurements. The successful bidder, HAGS-SMP Limited, highlights the success potential for similar entities in this sector.
