## Summary

Knowsley Council commissioned construction works to develop the play area at Knowsley Village Recreation Ground. The project is for a recreation-ground play area, with the work classified as construction. The recorded delivery location is the North West of England; the project title identifies Knowsley Village. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s landscape contractors purchasing system, specifically its second lot. This indicates that the requirement was for a landscape contractor to carry out a defined play-area development project, rather than a general-purpose construction contract. The project is associated with Knowsley Council, which is the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Knowsley Council selected Landscape Engineering Ltd, a small business, for £52,597.44. The estimated tender value was £55,000. The award date was 1 October 2026; the awarded contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender deadline was 18 June 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was a mini-competition using the council’s landscape contractors purchasing system, rather than a standalone open procedure. It was classified as works, with the stated subject being development of the recreation-ground play area. The opportunity was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate evaluation criteria or selection requirements are recorded in the published process details.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement from Knowsley Council for landscape-contractor capability in developing a public recreation-ground play area. The selected supplier, Landscape Engineering Ltd, is a small business, showing that a smaller contractor was able to deliver the project at this scale. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need relevant experience in landscape construction and play-area development, and the capacity to complete a defined site project within a relatively short contract period. The route used was a mini-competition within the council’s landscape contractors purchasing system, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to be positioned to participate through that route. The requirement is relevant to landscape contractors and construction firms with practical delivery experience on public recreation-ground works; it is not evidence of a general construction requirement beyond this type of project.
