## Summary

Salford City Council procured refurbishment works for Whittle Street Play Area. The requirement was construction work focused on refurbishing the play area, with delivery in the M27 5AW postcode area of Salford. This is a local public-realm and play-space refurbishment project, relevant to contractors undertaking construction and landscape works for outdoor recreational facilities. The procurement was managed by Salford City Council, which is also the buyer.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Groundwork Landscapes Ltd. The award was made on 16 September 2026, for £142,860.20. The contract period runs from 12 October to 20 November 2026. The council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026. The procurement was structured as a single requirement, with no separate lots recorded. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete. The work was categorised as construction, and the award is active.

The award shows Salford City Council's demand for targeted refurbishment of an outdoor play area, delivered as a defined construction project. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience in play-area refurbishment and the ability to complete construction and associated landscape works within a short, tightly bounded programme. As the requirement was handled through a framework call-off, relevant framework access and experience delivering work under call-off arrangements would also strengthen a supplier's position. The selected supplier is an SME, and the procurement indicated that SMEs were suitable, so smaller specialist contractors can be relevant competitors where they can demonstrate the necessary delivery capability and capacity. Familiarity with working on public recreational facilities in Salford would help align a future offer to this buyer's requirement.
