## Summary

Fawley Parish Council is seeking to upgrade and enhance playground facilities by procuring new equipment aimed at improving disability access at three locations: The Warren in Holbury, QEII Recreation Ground in Blackfield, and Tristan Close in Calshot. This tender process is currently in the Award stage, having been published on 6th September 2017 with a contract value of approximately £30,000, where the minimum value is set at £24,000. The contract period is scheduled to begin on 15th October 2017 and run until 15th November 2017. The procurement method employed is a competitive quotation process due to its classification as below threshold.

This procurement opportunity is well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in the manufacturing and installation of playground equipment, particularly those who have experience in accessible design for children with disabilities. Businesses that utilise recycled materials and can provide robust warranties on their products might have a competitive edge, especially since Fawley Parish Council prioritises sustainability as part of their strategic plan. Suppliers capable of meeting durability requirements in a coastal environment will also be particularly attractive for this project.
