## Summary

South Derbyshire District Council has completed the procurement process for the Rosliston Forestry Centre Play Feature project, aiming to replace the outdated "sparrow hawk" play equipment with a new iconic piece. The tender, identified as SDDC001-DN758254-63132504, falls under the playground equipment industry category (CPV 37535200) and is valued at £70,000. The location for delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The procurement utilised an open procedure and reached the award stage on 31st March 2025. The contract period commenced on 1st April 2025 and will conclude by 24th June 2025. The project received designs from various companies before selecting Outdoor Play Devon Ltd as the supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the playground equipment manufacturing and design sector, especially those that can produce high-quality, modern play structures. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), were seen as well-suited to compete, underlining the council’s commitment to inclusivity in procurement. Companies looking to establish a portfolio with public sector clients and showcase their innovative design capabilities would find such tenders advantageous for business growth and market position enhancement.

## Notice

Rosliston Forestry Centre is managed by South Derbyshire District Council and attracts over 200,000 visitors a year. The current "sparrow hawk" bespoke play equipment is old and is not of the quality or value that the residents of South Derbyshire expect from such a location. Therefore the Council intend to replace this item with a more modern iconic piece of play equipment and welcome designs from suitably competent companies to make a statement piece for the forestry centre.
