## Summary

Worcester City Council has awarded a contract to Eibe Play Ltd for the "Play on the Way - Cotswold Way, Worcester" project. This initiative falls under the Park and Playground Equipment category and aims to design, install, and construct a 'Play on the Way' scheme adjacent to Cranham Primary School in Worcester, England. The project includes the delivery of six play stations with a mix of natural play timber and steel equipment, catering to toddlers, juniors, and early teens, with a future phase planned for a seventh station. The procurement stage has reached completion with the contract period running from 3 February 2025 to 2 May 2025, and the total contract value is GBP 94,998.31.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in playground equipment, landscaping for playgrounds, and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for similar projects in the future. Engaging in this type of public procurement can help businesses expand their portfolio, demonstrate their capabilities in public sector projects, and establish strong relationships with local government entities such as Worcester City Council.

## Notice

Worcester City Council is seeking a play provider to design, install and construct a 'Play on the Way' scheme just off Cotswold Way, Worcester. This is part of a wider 'Worcester City Play Plan' which has been implemented by the city council. The existing open space area is adjacent to residential housing and leading to Cranham Primary school. There would be 7 play stations which would be located close to an existing footpath on site to create a 'Play on the Way' concept. This project is for the delivery of stations 1-6 inclusive and station 7 would be a future separate phase 2 project for a pump track or similar youth provision (yet to be approved by Committee). The adventure trail would be a mix of natural play timber and steel equipment and would cater for toddlers, juniors, and early teens.
