Summary of the contracting process

Clackmannanshire Council procured works to inspect, repair and maintain play park equipment. The requirement covers outdoor play equipment and associated leisure equipment, with the purpose of keeping existing play facilities maintained and operational. The work is relevant to playground maintenance contractors, specialist play-equipment companies and facilities-management businesses with practical repair capability. The procurement was placed under the Scotland Excel Framework for Outdoor Play and Sports Facilities, reference 0420. The appointed supplier is Playscapes Scotland Ltd, based in Lanark. The council is based in Alloa, and the requirement is for its play park equipment. The scope is a focused maintenance service rather than the supply of new playground equipment or a general construction project.

This procurement has reached the awarded stage, with an active contract recorded. Clackmannanshire Council used a Scotland Excel framework route for the requirement, rather than an unrestricted open tender. The tender record began on 9 January 2026. Two bids were recorded. Playscapes Scotland Ltd was awarded the work for £125,000 including the stated GBP currency. The award covers inspection, repair and maintenance of play park equipment. The process is classified as works, with CPV classifications for leisure equipment and repair and maintenance services for playground equipment. The award information does not set out separate lots, a recorded award date, contract end date or evaluation weighting. No award cancellation or contract termination is recorded.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist playground-equipment maintenance at council level, covering inspection, repair and ongoing maintenance rather than one-off installation. Businesses best placed for comparable demand would have practical experience working on outdoor play equipment, the ability to inspect equipment systematically, diagnose faults and complete repairs safely, and sufficient operational capacity to support a public-sector maintenance service. Relevant firms may include specialist playground contractors, outdoor leisure-equipment maintenance providers and facilities-management companies with this expertise. Familiarity with public-sector service delivery and the Scotland Excel Outdoor Play and Sports Facilities framework route would strengthen credibility. The modest, focused scope may suit an established regional contractor or a specialist small business able to provide dependable inspection and repair coverage.
