## Summary

Salford City Council procured playground equipment and landscaping works for the Whittle Street Play Area. The scope is classified as playground equipment (CPV 37535200), alongside landscaping for green spaces, parks and recreational areas. The work is for the play area at Whittle Street in Salford; the delivery postcode is M27 5AW. The procurement was a further competition under the council’s Technical and Highways Works Framework, landscaping and associated services lot. This identifies a requirement combining play-area equipment with landscape works, rather than a general grounds-maintenance service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Groundwork Landscapes. The award was made on 15 September 2026, at £142,860.20. The contract period runs from 12 October to 20 November 2026. It was conducted as a selective call-off competition under an existing framework, with bids due by 14 August 2026. The estimated tender value was £142,860. The available data records the procurement as one requirement and identifies SME and voluntary, community and social enterprise suitability. No award evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Salford City Council, this award demonstrates demand for play-area provision combining playground equipment and landscaping, including work in parks and recreational areas. The requirement was delivered through a further competition among suppliers on an existing landscaping and associated services framework, so framework access and the ability to respond to call-off competitions are relevant commercial capabilities. A credible competitor would need to show it can coordinate equipment supply or installation with landscape works and deliver a defined play-area project to the council’s requirements. The successful supplier was an SME, and the procurement was also identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that this kind of requirement is not inherently restricted to large contractors.
