## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Stevenage Borough Council, involved the improvement works at the Whitesmead and Burymead play areas, specifically focusing on the supply and installation of playground equipment. This project, classified under the works industry category with a total value of £34,461.49, followed a direct procurement method through a single tender action due to its status below a specific financial threshold. The tender period concluded on 1st March 2021, with the contract period running from 2nd March 2021 to 20th July 2021 in the East of England, United Kingdom. The award of the contract was announced on 22nd November 2021, reflecting the completion of the procurement stage.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) within the construction and recreational equipment sectors. Companies that specialise in playground equipment installation, landscaping, or outdoor recreational facilities would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The direct procurement method suggests that streamlined processes may favour businesses capable of demonstrating proven experience and reliability in their past projects.
