## Summary

Nottingham City Council procured the design, supply and installation of a play area at Colwick Country Park. The work is a construction project focused on providing a new outdoor play facility. The procurement description says it was funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Delivery is at Colwick Country Park in Nottingham. The scope combines design with the provision and installation of the play area, so it covers both planning the facility and putting it in place, rather than supply alone. This is a council parks and recreation project, relevant to playground manufacturers, landscape and play-space designers, and contractors able to install outdoor play equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hags UK following an open procedure described as competitive quotation. The award date was 3 October 2025. The awarded value was £99,819. The contract period ran from 21 December 2025 to 21 March 2026. There was one award, for the design, supply and installation of the Colwick Country Park play area. Nottingham City Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published information describes the competitive route but gives no evaluation criteria, so the stated basis for selection is the competitive quotation process.

For suppliers who did not win, this award is evidence that Nottingham City Council buys integrated play-area projects combining design, equipment supply and installation for its parks. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to develop an appropriate play-space design, supply suitable equipment and manage installation as a joined-up delivery package. The buyer marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller and mission-led suppliers were considered eligible to compete. Hags UK, a large supplier, was selected through competitive quotation, showing that the buyer used competition rather than a direct appointment. Relevant firms should be positioned to evidence delivery capability across the full play-area scope.
