## Summary

Houghton Regis Town Council has awarded a contract for the refurbishment of the existing play area at Tithe Farm Recreation Ground in Bedfordshire. The procurement process aimed to review and incorporate existing good play equipment into a redesigned inclusive children's play area. The total project budget is £75,000, using a competitive quotation method below the threshold. The award was published on 31 March 2025, with the contract period set from 4 October 2024 to 31 March 2025. The play equipment falls under the CPV classification of playground equipment, and the contract was deemed suitable for SMEs.

This contract presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specializing in playground equipment and construction to expand their portfolio and showcase their expertise in creating inclusive play areas. Particularly, SMEs like Proludic Ltd, which won the contract, demonstrate the competitive advantage in meeting local council specifications. Suppliers with experience in designing safe and stimulating environments for children's play, and who can integrate current regulations and best practices, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders.

## Notice

Houghton Regis Town Council invites quotations for the refurbishment of our existing play area at Tithe Farm Recreation Ground, Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire. We are looking to receive a review of the existing play equipment and, where possible, retain good items to be incorporated in a new design, with the supply and installation of appropriate children's play equipment. We are looking for a supplier to create a children's play area that incorporates inclusive elements and provides a safe and stimulating environment for children to play and learn. The new play area will replace/refurbish the existing one (which will be removed as part of the contract) and meet all current regulations and best practices. Included in the price, we would like the Leaf Road entrance blocked off, using appropriate fencing to match what is there.
