The project, titled "MBC Play Area Surfacing Repairs," falls under the "Repair and maintenance services of playground equipment" industry category. The procurement process was completed with the awarding stage, and Nova Sport Ltd has been appointed as the contractor. Key dates included the tender release on 16th October 2024, the expression of interest deadline on 15th November 2024, and the contractor appointment on 16th December 2024. The contract period extends from 1st February 2025 to 30th June 2025, with works to take place in locations such as Adisham Road, Allington, and Grovewood Drive North, Grove Green. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in playground maintenance and repair, particularly those experienced with impact-absorbing surfaces such as wet pour rubber. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts, given the open procedural approach and the specific technical requirements of the project. The successful completion of this contract can enhance a company's portfolio and potentially lead to further local government opportunities. ## Notice Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) is looking to appoint a contractor to undertake play area surfacing repairs include all preparatory work and base preparation. MBC manages over 60 play areas across the borough. All equipment is installed on an impact absorbing surface including bark, grass mat, rubber mulch and wet pour rubber. At a number of sites the wet pour rubber is shrinking away from edging kerbs or is worn under high wear areas. These faults can cause trip hazards and worn surfacing no longer offers the impact absorbency for the equipment it is under. Funding has been identified to replace or repair areas of surfacing at a number of sites. All play areas have been surveyed and a programme of repairs prepared in order of priority. The sites include: * Adisham Road, Allington ME16 0NW * Foxton Drive, Downswood ME15 8TQ * St. Francis Close, Penenden Heath ME14 2FR * Grovewood Drive North, Grove Green ME145JP Key Dates & Timeline for Procurement Tender release: 16th October 2024 Expression of Interest Deadline: 12:00pm 15th November 2024 Deadline for submission of completed tenders: 12:00pm 21st November 2024 Evaluation: w/c 25th November 2024 Appointment of contractor: w/c 16th December 2024 ** PLEASE NOTE: All expressions of interest, and subsequent correspondence and submissions, must be made via the Kent Business Portal - www.kentbusinessportal.org.uk ** ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8186b4f9-a461-4dcf-b8a0-a1287b6184a4 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 14 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 Jan 2025 | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2025 - 30 Jun 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £47,358 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MAIDSTONE BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | MAIDSTONE | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME15 6JQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ45 Mid Kent | | Local authority | Maidstone | | Electoral ward | High Street | | Westminster constituency | Maidstone and Malling | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | NOVA SPORT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50870000 - Repair and maintenance services of playground equipment ## Release History - 27 Feb 2025 at 11:52 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8186b4f9-a461-4dcf-b8a0-a1287b6184a4 - 16 Oct 2024 at 11:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca2d1b82-608a-42e9-92cc-555cf8ca0c29 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8186b4f9-a461-4dcf-b8a0-a1287b6184a4 27th February 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca2d1b82-608a-42e9-92cc-555cf8ca0c29 16th October 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=a83da42b-b08b-ef11-8130-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.maidstone.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
