## Summary

The public procurement process was initiated by Windlesham Parish Council for the replacement of playground equipment at the Lightwater Recreation Ground. Structured as an open procedure below the threshold, this contract was aimed at the works category within the playground equipment industry. The primary focus was on the supply and installation of new equipment, removal of existing structures, and ensuring compliance with British and European safety standards. An open tender was announced with a submission deadline on 27th January 2023, and works were expected to begin by 1st April 2023, concluding by 31st May 2023. The awarded contract was valued at £45,000, reflecting a subsequent amendment to the original tender estimated at £35,000, and named Wicksteed Leisure Ltd as the successful supplier.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in playground equipment and installation, particularly SMEs, as it involves comprehensive engagement—from supply to installation and post-installation inspection. Windlesham Parish Council provides a platform for reputable contractors to demonstrate their ability to meet UK and European safety standards, thereby enhancing their portfolio and establishing rapport with local government bodies. Given its scale and requirements matching SME capabilities, businesses experienced in playground renewals would find this procurement process beneficial for growth and further opportunities in the region.
