## Summary

Ipswich Borough Council procured outdoor playground, fitness and sports facilities and equipment for Ellenbrook open space. The requirement is classified as playground equipment and falls within the goods category. Delivery is in the East of England. The council is the buyer, with the procurement focused on supplying equipment for an outdoor public open-space setting. The scope combines children’s play provision with outdoor fitness and sports facilities, so relevant businesses include manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of playground equipment and associated outdoor activity equipment. The opportunity concerns the physical supply of these facilities and equipment rather than a general construction or professional services commission.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 1 June 2026 at 11:00. Ipswich Borough Council awarded the contract to Kompan Limited on 1 July 2026 for £69,598, including the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. The published procurement record identifies the requirement as a single goods purchase for Ellenbrook open space. The award is active, and the selected supplier is responsible for the awarded outdoor playground, fitness and sports facilities and equipment requirement.

This award evidences a defined council requirement for outdoor play, fitness and sports equipment at a public open space, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need a product range covering more than one type of outdoor facility, with the ability to provide coordinated equipment for children’s play, fitness and sports use. The requirement suits an established specialist supplier able to manage a public-sector equipment order and deliver a complete, compatible range within a short contract period. The awarded supplier was a large organisation, and the procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating a competitive landscape centred on larger established equipment providers.
