## Summary

The procurement process concerns the project titled "Walmer Castle Woodland Play Trail" led by the English Heritage-Estates. Located in Kent, this initiative falls under the industry category of playground equipment. It is currently at the Award stage, having been finalised on 10th September 2018, following a contract period that began on 20th August 2018 and is set to conclude by 19th April 2019. The total value of the awarded contract is £150,000, with a minimum threshold of £130,000. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 31st July 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the design and construction of playgrounds and recreational facilities, particularly for those specialising in playground equipment, landscaping works, and creative design elements. With a focus on community engagement and learning experiences through the play trail, businesses that excel in innovative play solutions and have a strong track record in similar projects will be particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement process and contribute to enhancing outdoor play experiences for children.

## Notice

English Heritage has secured partnership funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to restore and re-present the lost gardens of Walmer Castle in Kent. The project will improve access, enable community activity with learning and volunteer opportunities, create a children's play trail through the Woodland and Glen and provide a new satellite catering facility. We now seek an external play designer/contractor to design and build the Play elements using the design brief. We want creative input from the contractor in how to deliver the Play Trail in the most engaging way for visitors.
