## Summary

Henley Town Council is managing the procurement process for the Freeman's Meadow Playground Upgrade, situated in Henley-on-Thames, South East England. The council aims to enhance the existing playground to better serve younger children by adding diverse equipment and safety features and ensuring it meets modern standards. The tender period is open until 8th March 2019, and the contract is expected to commence on 1st May 2019, concluding on 1st August 2019. This procurement process follows the open method, and the total value of the contract is estimated at £60,000.

This project presents valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the recreational and playground equipment sector. Businesses that specialise in manufacturing, supplying, or installing children’s play equipment and safety surfacing will find this tender particularly suitable for competition. Moreover, companies with experience in public works or community-focused projects may have a competitive edge in meeting the specifications outlined by Henley Town Council.
