The procurement process led by Darlington Borough Council focused on the design, supply, and installation of playground facilities at the Neasham Road New Build Project in the North East of England. The project falls under the industry category of playground equipment and was conducted as a selective procurement method through a call-off from the ESPO Framework. The tender process has been completed, with a detailed procurement schedule that included a tender period ending on 14 May 2025 and a contract period from 26 May 2025 to 18 July 2025.
