## Summary

Sheffield City Council has completed the awarding phase of the procurement process for the "Longley Park Play Improvements" project, involving the construction of a new playground with dual basketball/netball facilities in Sheffield. This project falls under the landscaping industry category, with specific classifications in playground and park landscaping, as well as sports grounds and recreational areas. Located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, the procurement was conducted via an open procedure method, offering transparent opportunities for interested parties. The contract period commenced on 25th August 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st October 2025. The tender had previously reached its submission deadline on 20th January 2025.

This tender showcases opportunities for businesses specialising in landscaping work, particularly those suited to handle projects involving recreational area enhancements. Horticon Ltd, a large-sized entity without VCSE ties, was successfully awarded the contract. This demonstrates the competitive edge required to secure such tenders. With a project value of £225,000 and award contract amounting to £251,035, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the landscaping sector could find beneficial growth opportunities through similar public procurement contracts, if suitably prepared and capable of delivering quality services akin to those demanded by Sheffield City Council.
