## Summary

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process titled "Improve 5 Play Areas - 115_25," aimed at supplying and installing children's play equipment across five sites within the city. The procurement falls under the construction industry category, with additional services related to installation work. This tender followed an open procedure, ensuring transparency and fairness in the selection process. The contract was awarded to Dragon Play and Sports Ltd on 22nd January 2026, with a contract period starting from 23rd January 2026 to 31st March 2026. The total contract value is £368,944. The procurement aimed to support small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) but did not prioritise voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This project offers significant growth opportunities, especially for businesses specialising in the construction and installation of playground equipment. Companies with experience in handling public sector contracts, particularly those familiar with open tender procedures, stand in good stead to compete for similar projects in the future. SMEs could particularly benefit from these opportunities, given the tender's suitability criteria. By demonstrating expertise in delivery and installation services, businesses can enhance their portfolio and gain visibility with public sector buyers such as Bristol City Council.
