The project aimed to enhance and modernise the playground equipment and surfacing, ensuring low maintenance while providing a practical and enjoyable space for children and carers. The procurement, classified under CPV codes for playground equipment and related apparatus, used an open procedure below the threshold. The tender was published on 3rd September 2024, with the tender period ending on 25th October 2024. The contract, valued at £110,000, commenced on 1st November 2024 and will conclude on 1st November 2025, with Wicksteed Leisure Ltd awarded the contract on 5th November 2024. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in playground design and construction, particularly SMEs, as the procurement method favoured such entities. Companies with expertise in low-maintenance, innovative playground solutions will find this project fitting their capabilities. The requirements for experienced contractors in the field highlight the need for businesses capable of delivering both creative and practical design solutions within budgetary constraints. Engagement in such projects can lead to further opportunities within public sector procurement for similar works, expanding business portfolios and reputations within this industry segment. ## Notice Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor Parish Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to design and deliver new playground equipment, surfacing and associated works at Fir Tree Close Play Area. The project is based on several priorities which have evolved from the ongoing costs and maintenance of the existing surfacing and equipment, to a more wholistic view of the entire play area. The site is an important recreational asset for the local community in Southmoor, the Primary School is adjacent and good access by foot for the wider community. With a fully funded budget, this will be a significant investment for the Council who want to make sure the outcome is a play area that is well designed, practical for both children and carers, and with low maintenance of both surfacing and equipment over the long term.
